Original fileA disheveled man with swollen eyes and a pained expression leans his head on his hand, appearing physically broken and impoverished. He is surrounded by objects signifying his vice: a ceramic jug, a small glass of brandy, and a simple plate of fish, while clutching a wooden flute. The engraving serves as a stark moral warning, illustrating the toll of excess on the human body as described in the accompanying Dutch verses.
