About this work
A notary takes the will of a dying old woman in the presence of four women, a violinist and his servant. According to the inscription, she bequeaths her false dog and mangy cat to Nannon, the legs of her broken stool to the violinist, and her wretched wardrobe is to be used to ransom prisoners.
