Abstract: "Three whole length standing figures. On left a man with a Jewish profile and a small beard is in profile to the right. In his left hand is a long cane, in his right a rolled document. Bundles of papers protrude from his pocket. He wears a wide-brimmed hat. The centre figure is full-face; his hat is in his hand. A paper, "Annuities 20 pr cent", hangs from his pocket. The third figure is in profile to the left. He smiles and holds the arm of the centre figure; in his left hand is a cane. The two men in profile are dressed in an old-fashioned way with wide-brimmed hats and long coats."--British Museum online catalogue
