He wears a night cap and stands with a weapon in each hand, pointed at the door; his figure casts a large shadow on the back wall and over the bureau on which sits his tricorne hat. His wife (right) clings to his nightshirt, as she holds up a candlestick to light their way. She has her hair tied up in a scarf. To the right, their infant cries in its basket under which sits a overflowing chamber pot. On the other side of the closed door is a small mouse
