- Abstract
-
A man with a gouty foot sits at a table on which a caraffe and decanter sit with a glass. The figure of the devil sits in an upholsered armchair grinning at the man as he pours a glass of liquid on his head. To their right a skeleton on a three-legged stool is engaged in conversation with a clergy man, both holding glasses of wine. Between the pairs above their heads is written, "A fig for sack & sherry, Our cans we'll clink. Our liquor we'll drink, And we'll be wonderous merry."
