One of the skeletons is holding a terrified man in black clothing, who is in mid-air as if being tossed from a horse. The drawing includes a signpost pointing "ROAD TO HELL". The sky is reddish-orange, adding to the dramatic atmosphere of the scene. The artwork is titled "THE LAWYERS LAST CIRCUIT," and includes a quote from Shakespeare's "Hamlet".
