"Scene outside a large apothecary's shop, both windows filled with large coloured jars. Above the door is the sign, a terrestrial globe on which scales are balanced. Outside, a doctor in old-fashioned dress, acts as usher with a long wand to a band of naked infants (left) who run eagerly towards him. In the jars fœtuses are indicated. Outside the other window stands an undertaker holding up his professional staff and doffing a hat draped with a mourning scarf towards a skeleton who advances from the background (right). Behind the skeleton is a church among trees."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A dying man, wearing a tattered shirt, lies stretched on a miserable bed under a casement window, through which looks Death, a skeleton holding up an hour-glass and a javelin which he points menacingly at his victim. A fat doctor (left) sits asleep at the bedside (left) while an undertaker's man, with a coffin on his back, and holding a crêpe-bound mute's wand, enters from the right as if smelling out death. The doctor wears old-fashioned dress, with powdered wig, and has a huge gold-headed cane. Beside him are the words: "I purge I bleed I sweat em, Then if they Die I Lets em"."--British Museum online catalogue
