- Abstract
-
"A couple embracing on a couch at right are interrupted by the appearance at left of a grotesque, stout, bespectacled woman holding up a groaning moribund man wearing a shroud-like nightshirt; the young lover has his hand on a paper lettered 'last will & testament of Mr Gripe' hanging over the lid of an open money-chest, full of bags which spill onto the floor, some inscribed with sums of money, one with 'Mortgage on -'; a large, ornately framed picture of a stern man in Tudor costume on the wall behind at right, bust of a bearded man on a window-ledge at centre."--British Museum online catalogue.
