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 third drawing, Edward is shown at a tea table with another man and woman. The room is more simply decorated than his brother's. On the wall is a single mirror (Baroque style), on either side of which hang a man's hat and a woman's cloak and hat. A little dog stands with its paws on Edward's leg. Through the window on the right is slight view of a tree and field
