Much Depends on Dinner

This is without a doubt one of the weirdest 18th century pictures I’ve seen. Here is how it’s described:
“Dagol, prince of darkness” ca. 1775, possibly German, from Compendium rarissimum totius Artis Magicae. On display in “Medicine man: the forgotten museum of Henry Wellcome” at the British Museum, London until 16 November.
The source: The Art Newspaper.
I have a completely unrelated follow-up note on this (well, unrelated except in my mind), but will post it later. Must run now and stir the pot.
