Abstract:
A small man in oversized clothes stands in profile in the foreground holding a walking stick and a wig at which he is looking pensively. Behind him is a small cottage-like building with a striped barber's pole mounted on the roof. In a large diamond pattern window is a skeleton, a wig stand, and a pet monkey. Above the window a large sign reads: "Matt. Manna apothecary, surgeon, corn-cutter, &c., &c. Man midwife, gentlemen shaved & hogs gelded. Shave for a penny & bleed for 2 pence." Below the window hangs a large shelf with a jar of Jalap and two bowls on it. A milestone in lower right corner reads: XXVI mile

A scene inside an apothecary’s shop, with a surprised looking apothecary standing behind the counter serving a shifty looking male customer wearing a Scottish bonnet cap and tartan trousers. Behind the counter is a labelled drug run (a set of drawers for storing medicinal ingredients) and labelled drug jars (for storing prepared medicines); on and in front of the counter are pestles and mortars. The shop has carboys and drug jars on display in the windows to the right. The apothecary holds a plaster iron in his hand and is in the process mixing a preparation.

In the right scene, the moribund patient wearing a nightgown and nightcap sits in an armchair on casters next to the bed, while the physician (a thin elderly bald man in a black suit) looks at him intently from the next chair, and an old nurse stands nearby; medicine bottles on the mantlepiece behind
