"Two dark-complexioned money-lenders, Eurasians or Portuguese, sit facing each other at a round table. One (left), with a cane under his arm, appears to be a visitor; he regards his vis-à-vis with a fixed and cunning grin, holding out a bill or cheque, and pointing to an open chest containing money-bags which is on the ground. The other (right) stares angrily, leaning on the table and clutching a large money-bag. He wears a shirt and waistcoat with breeches and shoes; the other wears a short jacket or long spencer, breeches, and boots. The figures are strongly lit, the room is in deep shadow. Apparently a companion plate to No. 11833. Cf. also Nos. 12164, 12165."--British Museum online catalogue
