Figure descriptions
A man in court dress (Jonathan Swift) rebukes a crowd of drunken men in a city street.
He stands near a doorway and gestures
toward the crowd while glaring. A man in front of Swift lies slumped on the ground;
he appears to be either unconscious or sleeping.
A child stands in front of the man on the ground and looks down upon him. Other men
in the crowd hold weapons and illuminated
flares. A dog watches Smith from behind another man’s leg. Figures peek out from behind
the door to witness
the dramatic scene. Building façades line the street and the moon is high in the sky.
