A meeting of creditors = Assemblée de créanciers

"The debtor (left), a fashionably dressed man, stands meditatively at the end of a long table, stroking his chin, and looking at a bill to which one of the creditors, a butcher, points angrily: '[Squan]der Dr [to] Bluff Beef Mutton &c. £70'. The butcher, a stout man wearing over-sleeves to the elbow, is seated at the table. Facing him is a well-dressed creditor wearing spurred top-boots who points to his bill: 'Seven Qrs Rent due Lady day last ... £140. 0s. Repairs &c. as Pr Ordy go. £230. 0. 0.' Ten other creditors sit and stand round the table and are grouped (right) at its far end. A stout man stands at the end of the table facing the debtor and holding a schedule of debts:' T Squander Debts Certain 200 Uncertain 500 Due to Thos Squander 700 Against 1500. Debtr 800'. On the table is a paper of '[Memora]ndums [F]aro 20 EO 50 Phaeton Ponies 100 Lottery Insurance 75'. A tailor looks gloomily at his bill: 'Snip Tay[lor]'. A stout man (right) sits looking at a dog feeding from a bowl. Another dog (left) pulls at the coat-tails of his master, the debtor. On the wall which forms a background is a framed 'Perspective View of the Kings Bench'. Above it is a bust portrait of 'Ld Mansfield'. On the right behind the debtor is an open door; in front of it is a tall screen of several leaves."--British Museum online catalogue
