Satirical drawing on the professions of medicine, law and the church. Three practitioners stand in a well furnished interior; each wears the dress of his profession. The lawyer holds a sealed document, the clergyman a book, and the physician a phial. Pictures on the wall show men rushing to separate two fighting dogs, men and women bringing tithes to a clergyman, and two doctors quarreling at a bedside
