From an originalwall painting in Winchester College. An emblematic portrait of an ideal servant, showing a man wearing a sword, with the head of a boar, the ears of an ass, the feet of a stag, a saucepan lid attached to his arm holding up his open right hand and in the other grasping the tools of his trade, shovel, fork, broom and scrapper.
