The scene consists of three cherub-like individuals about to perform surgery (or an autopsy?) on a fourth lying supine upon a slab. A fifth individual watches from a gallery. An anatomical statue can be seen over this individual's left shoulder. Above is a coat of arms, divided into two portions, with three roses at the top, and three chess rooks at the bottom. All throughout the plate are floral and leafy attributes. Above the image is the motto Fama Parata Labora.

The scene is the interior of a dispensary with the Viscount sitting in a chair, his child-mistress at his knee. The young girl holds a handkerchief to her mouth as if to hide a sore. With his right hand he holds a pill-box out to the doctor; with his left, he threatens him with his raised cane. A large, well-dressed woman looks angrily at the young man and opens a knife, while the quack polishes his glasses, at his side a skull on the table. The room contains numerous medical and scientific objects, including machines for straightening shoulders and for drawing corks, a dried crocodile, a narwhal's tusk, two mummies, a skeleton, and two pictures, one of a two-headed hermaphrodite and the other an anthropophagi (see Paulson).
