The image shows a black and white drawing of a man standing on top of a ladder next to a woman, with a few other people in the background. At the bottom of the image, there is some text which reads "William Hogarth's illustration for the story of William Hogarth". The man is wearing a long coat and a hat, and is holding a stick in his hand. The woman is standing on the ladder, and the other people are standing around them.
