Hudibras and the Lawyer

William Hogarth, 1725/1726

This is a drawing of an interior scene in an ornate library. There is a man gesturing to another man in a grand chair, while two other men are writing at a cluttered table. A statue with scales is next to the desk. Several women and two dogs are in the background. The walls are panelled and there are many books on high shelves.
