At the bottom, an image of a man with a gun and two spaniels in pursuit of ducks converges with an image of a man and two hounds chasing a hare. Above it, a depiction of a hare is followed by that of a fox caught and attacked by a group of hounds

"In a plainly furnished room a whole family suffers. An elderly 'cit' and a skinny old woman register acute discomfort. Between their chairs is a round table on which is a dish of cherries and currants. A stout maidservant (left) drinks from a bottle she has taken from a store-cupboard. A little boy, a cat, and a dog are afflicted. A door opens into a bedroom (right) where a little girl relieves herself; another tries to kick her from her seat.
