A boy in big wooden shoes clatters across the floor and wears a long queue

A solicitor approaches a clergyman and doctor; over his head hovers a demonic creature holding a long legal document. The rotund clergyman, looking very displeased, is flanked by the head of an ass peering over his shoulder and a small dog urinating on his voluminous clerical robes. A smug looking doctor carrying a walking stick has one hand upturned pinching his index finger and thumb as if to gesture holding something while a young boy trails afterward holding a written prescription in his extended arm. A picture hanging on the wall depicts a crude drawing of a hanged man
