Bildbeschreibung
This is a drawing of a group of men wearing wigs. The men are humorously depicted as quack doctors or undertakers, emphasizing their wigs and expressions. Each figure is holding canes or objects, implying medical instruments. The background is decorated with dashed patterns. A caption at the bottom describes these individuals as "The Company of Undertakers."
