Español: Los jóvenes siameses: Chang y Eng comiendo y bebiendo

Un grabado al aguafuerte coloreado a mano que muestra a dos hombres unidos por el cuerpo, con abrigos verdes, sentados sobre un cojín rojo frente a una mesa con un asado y vino. Uno levanta una copa mientras el figura más corpulenta se inclina hacia la comida, con garrafas en una mesa auxiliar y cortinas rosadas al fondo.
