- Abstract
-
The seventh drawing in a series of twelve that follow a tradition of producing a series on modern morals, a tradition established earlier in the 18th century by artists such as William Hogarth. In this series, twin brothers are bestowed an equal fortune. One brother, Edward, husbands his wealth and on his death, passes on his fortune; whilst the other brother, Charles, squanders his, leaving his family destitute
In this seventh drawing, four well-dressed men conduct business around a table as a lawyer writes a long document. On the back wall is "Bowles New Map of England and Wales" beside a tall secretary with books in the top cabinet and a folding desk above drawers. Other book shelves hang from the wall behind the door on the left and large volumes and ledgers are piled on the floor before the secretary
