Investment schemes. [Law, like another Don Quixote, sits on Sancho's ass, being everyone's fool.] A man sits on a horse or ass with a devil who faces backwards. Men try to drag the ass towards a house with "Quinquenpoix" over the door. A fool or Bombario hands something to the figure on the ass. Includes a roll of tobacco, shares of the Mississippi, South Sea, and West India Company, a caduceus, and coins. In the background are ships sailing.
