About this work

A hand-coloured caricature shows a rough sailor in a blue jacket and cream trousers holding a hat and a folded paper, facing a stout banker in a red coat, yellow waistcoat and powdered wig. Handwritten dialogue above the figures reads as a spoken exchange about a small draught for twenty pounds and a two-day delay. The work is catalogued as The Sailor and Banker, or The Firm in Danger, by Thomas Rowlandson.
