- Abstract:
- Pen and ink drawing divided into two parts, with an alderman on the left and a chamberlain on the right, framed in a elaborate border (suggesting a tent or fortress) of checkerboard and geometric designs. The stout alderman, spoon and fork in hand, wears a napkin pinned around his neck; he has a full spoon at his mouth and a plate of food and a mostly empty glass decanter rest upon the table in front of him. On the right the chamberlain, dressed in fur-lined robes and wearing his glasses raised up to his bald forehead, is shown with one arm raised and subtley pointing upwards while the left arm rests upon a large document entitled: This indenture wit. A coat of arms is displayed at the top of the design
