The Purchaser
Summary
A male figure is at the centre, wearing a hat and suit and smoking a cigar. His arms are held out and bent at the elbows and he is holding a coin in each hand. A devil wraps its arms around his legs, which end in sticks. There are flames at the devil's feet. To the left a man is kneeling and reaching up towards the man with the coins. To the right is a woman, wearing a hat, long dress and heavy makeup. She is holding up her skirt to show her lower leg with one hand while reaching up towards the man in the middle with the other.
