Abstract: "A lean middle-aged man reclines on a sofa, his face contorted with pain. A handkerchief over his head, and ungartered stockings suggest an interrupted nap. His left toe touches the ground; his right leg is drawn up, the toes bent. The bell-wire is broken. Above his head is a picture of a man turning a grindstone, and beside him are two volumes: 'Dr Buchan Family Médecine in 2 Vol', suggesting the hypochondriac. A cockatoo (left) screams at him, and he screams (words below the title): 'Ecot! it's Tied my foot in a Knot--Oh!--Oh!--O--O--o--o--o--'."--British Museum online catalogue
