Description: The sick lie on elevated beds made of wooden slats with woven mats laid on top. One lies on their stomach with their head hanging over the side of the bed and their face close to steam coming out of a pan on the ground. The other lies on their back being tended to by other individuals. There is a fire between the beds and two jugs on the ground. Children play between the beds, and a woman breastfeeds nearby. In the background, a man smokes from a long pipe. This illustration is identical to the one found on page 75 of Frankfurt 1591, but colored.
