After Robert Seymour?, [Third block]: Five intoxicated men sit around a table drinking and smoking; each man is attended by a small demon, while Death (personified as a skeleton holding a scythe and an hourglass) looms large in the background, and [Fourth block]: A man wearing a tall tophat, punches another man (left) off his feet and sending him backwards as blood gushing from his nose; an astonished woman watches from the background on the right. In the background left the window with broken glass panes and on the wall on the right, a framed picture of a man's head, a grin on his face.
