Summary

Print shows the interior of a bedroom, with a bed at far left; a woman and a man, the latter accompanied by a dog and brandishing a heavy staff, have angrily flung open the door to a closet, revealing a young, well dressed man standing inside, holding his hat in his hand and looking downcast; at right, a young woman turns away from the scene and weeps into her apron.
