Marriage A-la-Mode: 1. The Marriage Settlement, about 1743

William Hogarth, 1697-1764

"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." The National Gallery
