About this work
The last in the print series 'The Consequences of Drunkenness' makes it abundantly clear that drink is the root of all evils: fighting, jealousy, cheating, gambling, money loss, highway robbery – even murder and rape. The situation is likely to deteriorate any minute: the overturned candle is about to set alight the skirt of the woman who tries to break up the fight.
