The last lunette, on the end wall of the loggia, or directly opposite to the bakery and butcher shop, depicts a shop of a grocer, or sausage dealer. A clerk holding a hand scale stands behind a counter, and next to him a customer is pointing at the contents of a large bowl. Another customer stands at the left edge of the picture.
