Abstract:
In a drawing room, left, a woman with a very cross expression on her face sits on a settee threading a needle. Before her, a thin man sits on chair staring into the fire, a despairing expression on his face; at his feet are two open books: Much ado about nothing and The art of Tormenting. Behind him, another man rages as he stomps on a glove; the other glove also lies on the floor near-by and fragments of torn paper fly from his hand. The third man, far right, looks at the enraged man, a speech bubble from his mouth reads "Sunt lacrymae rerum!" On the wall are three pictures: Mountain of misery, a classical scene of worshippers outside a temple with Jupiter in the clouds: a whole length picture of Fortitude; and, a whole length picture of Temperance
