A 'busy', but sobering print depicting the procession of a dying old man
 to the afterlife. Attractively coloured. Accompanying the old man on 
his inevitably journey are a clergyman in front of the procession, 
followed by a lawyer, an official, a doctor (with large syringe) and man
 carrying the coffin (undertaker?). A bat flies overhead. 
Interestingly, the old man's stirrups look like chamber pots!
