Figure descriptions
Three figures gather in a dark room. At the center of the illustration, a man sits
on a large chair, rests his elbow on one of
its arms, and glares at a woman who stands before him. The woman stands in profile
view. She clasps her hands together in front of
her chest as if pleading with the man. Behind the man and to his right, a woman stands
hunched over in the shadows. She holds one
hand up to her mouth and appears to be whispering. There is a bookcase with books
in the background as well as a framed painting. A
long object which looks like a sceptre lies on the floor in front of the man. Full-page
illustration contained within a double-ruled
border.
