The origin of the gout [graphic][20 April 1785]eng"A gouty and obese man (right) seated in a chair plays the 'cello. Both legs are swathed, the feet wrapped in slashed coverings; the right leg rests on a stool. The Devil (left), hat in hat, holds in a pair of tongs a cinder against the right knee.

The hands of a wall-clock point to 12.25."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a proof stateTitle etched below image.Lettered state of no. 6881 in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum.
