Abstract:

A loose plagiary (reversed) after Hogarth's first plate in the Rake's Progress series; the interior of the house of Tom Rakewell's late father (after the painting at Sir John Soane's Museum) with Tom being measured for a suit as he gives a bag of coins to the pregnant Sarah Young; to the right a table with the papers related to the estate and coins; on the floor are boxes of miscellaneous goods; an upholsterer attaching fabric to the wall reveals a hiding place for coins which tumble out.
