An episode in King Henry VI, part II: Margerie Jourdayne with others conjure up a diabolical spirit in the hope of revealing to Humfrey Duke of Gloucester the results of competing claims to the English crown. Colour stipple print by C.G. Playter and R. Thew after J. Opie, 1796.
A dark stipple engraving shows a kneeling old woman in a white shift and blue shawl before a smoking cauldron, gesturing toward a horned, muscular demon. Robed onlookers in the shadows raise their hands, and a small child lies on the floor at lower left.

Español: Brujas invocando un espíritu, grabado de John Opie, 1796
Un oscuro grabado al punteado muestra a una anciana arrodillada, con camisa blanca y chal azul, frente a un caldero humeante, señalando a un demonio musculoso con cuernos. Figuras encapuchadas en la penumbra levantan las manos, y un niño yace en el suelo en la parte inferior izquierda.

Uma gravura pontilhada e escura mostra uma velha ajoelhada, com camisa branca e xale azul, diante de um caldeirão fumegante, apontando para um demônio musculoso com chifres. Figuras encapuzadas na penumbra erguem as mãos, e uma criança jaz no chão, no canto inferior esquerdo.
