In this playful etching the Rousseau family metamorphoses into various kinds of insects. On the right, Ernest Rousseau is depicted as a beetle, and his wife Mariette as a butterfly, and on the left their son Ernest is shown as a fly. The disembodied head of Mariette’s sister, Mrs. Théo Hannon, is in the centre, surmounted by a death’s head butterfly. At the lower left Ensor is depicted apparently entering into a Faustian pact with the devil.
