- Abstract
-
The thin, half-dressed man is scolded by his fat wife who has caught him in the garret bedroom with their young female servant. A bundle of his clothes in her arms, the servant scratches her head at the door. Pasted on the walls and ceilings of the room are several papers inscribed with dictums such as "Thou shalt not commit adultery", "God's warning for sinners", and "Once I lov'd." On the floor a book lies open to pages which read "Servants obey your Masters" and "Sermon to young women by Timy. Button Hole."
