This painting shows three women, apparently witches, gathered around a table. They're dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The interesting thing about this work is that it seems to be making fun of someone or something. It has a lot of detail and looks like a satire. To learn more about the method used to create this image, look up the technique: aquatint.
