Figure descriptions
Two men sit on opposite sides of a small table and appear to be engaged in an intense
conversation. The poem caption
identifies the men as logicians. The man on the left frowns and holds one finger to
his nose. The man on the right grimaces and
stares at the other man while counting on three fingers. On the table in front of
them, there is a quill and an ink pot, a book,
glasses, and multiple sheets of paper. There are additional books behind the man on
the right—on the back of his chair and on the
floor. There is an open lattice window beside the table. Tree branches are visible
through the window pane on the left side. On the
right side, a hand reaches up and holds a sheet of paper along the edge of the window
sill. Two scrolls hang on either side of the
window beside the two men. Full-page illustration contained within a double-ruled
border.
