Figure descriptions
An old, bearded man sits on a throne-like chair. His feet rest on a folded blanket
or rug. A young woman kneels next to him
and holds an open book. Both the woman and the man look down at the book. A second
man sits at a cloth-covered table. He reads from
a large book. A lit candlestick and pitcher are placed on the table beside him. At
the left side of the illustration, a third man
enters the room from an open archway. He tips his hat and holds a sheathed sword on
his hip. The illustration is dimly lit.
