Abstract: "An elderly man in old-fashioned dress stands at his desk, his right hand on an open ledger, looking down with a calculating grimace. He wears a night-cap and slippers; a pen is behind his ear. His high stool is behind him. In the background another elderly man writes seated at a desk. Papers spiked on files hang from the wall, and lie on the floor, with folio volumes. An 'Invoice' is pasted on the wall. Above a high shelf is the date '1800' etched over '1787', with 'R. 1788'."--British Museum online catalogue.
