Two etched panels: left, figures at a table in a wooded alley; right, a horned creature with a staff beside a man in a tricorn hat.

The Chatterer / The Husband Who Became Happy

Two etched scenes sit side by side on one sheet. The left panel shows three figures seated and standing around a small table in a leafy wooded alley. The right panel shows a horned, hairy creature leaning on a staff beside a standing man in a tricorn hat and breeches, who gestures toward it. Fine engraved lines define the trees and shadows.
