A woman wearing a torn cap and collar, and over whose head is written "the queene of slutes", stands behind him touching his shoulder asking him to tell her fortune. In the lower right corner, the head and shoulders of a man appear; he holds out his hat with his left hand and with the right offers coins to the astrologer, asking "Is she a princess".
