A scene from 'Speculum Cornelianum', a moralistic tale of a student who lives a life of dissipation. He sits in his rat-infested lodgings, his head and armed bandaged, the signs of his wasted life (including a backgammon board, playing cards, a tennis racquet and lute) as his landlady brings in a baby in swaddling clothes and a baliff writes a list of his debts on the door. The story continues with his disinheritance, after which he tries to hang himself; however the rope breaks and a bag of money, hidden in the ceiling, falls on his head, whereupon he decides to turn over a new leaf.
