I've seen this picture before. Now it's going to nag at me until I figure out which book I saw it in.

this is an illustration from the book by flanders.
it shows a scene (with numerous symbolic leitmotifs)
of the collapse of the domestic life
as a result of a woman's failure to
manage the household.

Failure to manage the household? From her prostrate position, I'd have expected the woman to have been caught in an adulterous affair, at the very least. :P
