La stampa raffigura re, vescovi e avvocati come forme vuote e meccaniche, simbolizzando il potere di manipolazione attraverso i loro ornamenti. La forma circolare della stampa suggerisce il campo visivo di un telescopio, con un re che tiene uno scettro e un globo, mentre un vescovo è rappresentato in una posizione lussuosa.
L’avvocato, vestito in modo eccessivo, è affiancato da figure simboliche che rappresentano la società aristocratica, creando un’opera ricca di significato e critica sociale.
