Ague


 D'oh! I posted these out of order.
This is an illustration of the pre-enlightenment practice of wearing three spiders about the neck to cure one of ague. I've picked a lot of sickly yellows and greens for this picture. And a very exaggerated neck, the better to see the spiders that will eventually be crawling there!
