A London street scene in the foreground of which Heidegger sprawls on the ground, his watch and coins falling from his pocket, as he begs mercy of Hercules. Hercules, clad in a lion skin, raises his club threateningly; with his right hand he holds a chain encircling a large group of masqueraders, some of whom have their hands tied behind their backs, their props or accessories are scattered on the ground; other masqueraders climb out of the windows of the building behind. On the left, Piety, Wisdom and Britannia emerge from a church followed by clergymen; beggars ask for alms, one holds a dog on a lead who rushes towards Heidegger. Mercury flies overhead holding a scroll lettered, "The Masquerade destroyt".
