A lean old woman in night-cap and shift sits in an arm-chair pouncing on an insect on her upraised knee. A cat sits on the arm of the chair. Bedroom furniture and utensils, with clothes thrown to the floor, are in the foreground. The bed-curtains form a background.   Four lines of verse beneath the title begin:
