A man looks up in horror at the image of a demon, smoking a pipe and holding a lantern, sitting astride his sleeping wife beside him in their truckle bed. A horse looks on, his head poking through the casement window. Beside their bed is a candle, chamber pot, and a chair on which he has thrown his coat. Probably deriving (remotely) from Fuseli's 'Nightmare'.
