Español: Grabado en madera: tigre, hornillo y tetera, afilando un cuchillo

Un grabado en madera dividido en viñetas. Arriba a la izquierda, un animal rayado, quizá un tigre, sujeto por un collar, mientras un hombre con muletas pasa sobre una figura dormida. En el centro, un hombre aviva con abanico un hornillo con una tetera; a la derecha, un hombre arrodillado observa junto a un mueble, y arriba una anciana afila un cuchillo.

No centro, um homem abana um fogão com uma chaleira; à direita, um homem ajoelhado observa ao lado de um armário, e no alto uma velha afia uma faca.
