The eleventh 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 and In this eleventh drawing, Edward is shown on his death bed, his grieving widow at his bedside, their two children at her knee. The elegant bedroom is decorated with a mirror and clock on the wall beside a tall secretary with a bust on top. Two men sit at a table as they look on the scene with sombre faces; one of the men is engaged in writing a long document (Edward's will).
