The third drawing in a series of twelve 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 and In this fourth drawing, Charles is partying with friends. Seated at a table with a tray of wine glasses and a platter of fruit, Charles holds a woman on his lap as two other women sit at the table with wine in hand. Another gentleman stands beside the lady in the back looking down at her with affection. A black servant stands with hat in hand and his other hand in his waistcoat. Two paintings on the wall amplify the subject, one of which shows Cupid with a bare breasted woman and the other, Leda and the swan. On the left wall is an ornate mirror
