Reduced composition of a painting by Hogarth, cropped substantially on both sides: The pool of Bethesda after the Hogarth painting. As described in the Gospel of St John, Chapter V, Christ is shown healing the sick beside the Pool of Bethesda, as an angel observes from above. At the center Christ reaches out to a crippled man who sits beside the Pool of Bethesda, shown here with an ulcer on his leg. Among the others looking for cures is a girl with Down's Syndrome (?), a woman with consumption or tuberculosis; a blind man with a stick; a man with jaundice (or melancholia or depression); a bearded man with gout and a distressed woman beside him with an injured breast; a child in the foreground carries a crutch. In the background, a servant of a naked woman pushes aside a mother with a sick baby. The mistress is most probably suffering from gonorrhea, as indicated by the rashes on her skin. Finally, in the foreground on the extreme right a pitiful man with an emaciated face full of pain and a hand on his swollen abdomen uses a crutch to approach the pool

The countess is shown swooning in a chair in her father's house near London Bridge (seen through the window on the left). At her feet a bottle with a label "laudanum" alongside an execution broadside tells us that Silvertongue has been hanged for killing her husband and that she has attempted suicide. Her young child (wearing a leg brace as a result of congenital syphilis) is held up for a last kiss by an old woman, while her father removes her wedding ring. An apothecary strikes the simple-minded servant for procuring the laudanum; a doctor leaves by a door to right. Fire buckets line the hallway. The floor of the room is bare; a heavy chair near a table is overturned, a starving dog chewing at the calf's head on the table. Other decorations include a weight-driven wall-clock, the paintings of Dutch peasant subjects and a man relieving himself against a wall, and a set of ledgers indicates that accounts are kept up to date

Abstract:
A sea chest stamped "Tho Idle his Chest" set in a row boat on the Thames tells us that it is Tom Idle who is being rowed out to sea by a waterman smoking pipe. Using his fingers to make horns on his head, Tom also makes a face at the sailor who points to a gallows on the shore (Cuckold's Point), while another sailor shows him a rope. Idle's mother sits before him wiping her weeping eyes. In the background on shore are various ships and a line of windmills. In the lower left corner, Tom's Indenture floats on the waves. The left of the frame is decorated with a scourge, manacles and a hangman's rope; on the right frame hang the mace of the City of London, the alderman's gold chain and a sword of state

The Earl Squander and a city merchant arrange the marriage of their son and daughter in a grand sitting room. The Earl, whose coronet is stamped on all his possessions, unfolds a diagram of his illustrious family tree as the alderman focuses on the marriage contract and his payment. The extravagantly dressed young groom-to-be looks at his reflection in a glass while his future bride listens intently at the lawyer's soft words. Through the window is a view of a palatial house under construction. The walls of the room are covered with paintings of Roman and Old Testament scenes as well as the screaming face of Medusa. In the foreground on the right, two dogs are chained together, one lying down but looking out the corner of his eyes at the viewer, the other looking off to the right
