A doctor, straddled by a skeleton, holds a full purse in his hands; signifying that he lives well off others' deaths. Coloured engraving. Wellcome Collection. Public Domain Mark. Source: Wellcome Collection.
Two pall-bearers are walking in the bottom right-hand corner. The skeleton holds a document saying "ordonance", signifying the doctor's collusion with the call of death. The doctor may either have a large collar or large, devilish (or donkeyish) ears (compare Wellcome Library no. 16059i where the ears are coloured pink).
