Marriage A-la-Mode: 1. The Marriage Settlement
A marriage has been arranged between the son of a bankrupt earl and the daughter of a rich merchant. The bride, ignoring her future husband (far left), converses with the lawyer Silvertongue. Her father examines the marriage contract; the earl (far right) points to his family tree.
