William Hogarth - Marriage à-la-mode, pl. 1
Summary
A grand interior where Earl Squander and a city merchant arrange the marriage of their son and daughter; the extravagantly dressed young man looks at his reflection in a glass while his future bride listens to the lawyer's soft words; through the window is a view of a palatial house under construction.
