About this work

This watercolor and ink drawing by Mary Hoare, dated 1781, shows a bubbling cauldron over red-lit flames beneath a hanging chain. A richly cloaked man in a red mantle leans toward hooded figures who gesture and stare, while a helmeted armed figure appears at the left edge. The handwritten lines beneath the image quote the dialogue of the scene.
