A Dutchman (agent for the chief moneylenders in Holland) sits at a table receiving the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, and the Duke of Clarence who stand before him, holding plans of their estates. Behind them, in the doorway, is a group of poor 'respectable characters' who accompany the Princes: Fox, Hanger, Sheridan (holding a mask), and (?) Tarleton. On the wall are shelves piled up with 'Mortgages etc', and with pawned objects: garments and a violin. Beside the Dutchman is a chest of money-bags. The Dutchman having demanded 'personal collaterals' as security, the Princes introduced Fox and the others, arguing that their credit was excellent, since they had lived on it for at least two-thirds of their existence.  1 May 1791
