Banker

In a grey suit and bowler hat, the gentleman has settled into a burgundy armchair with his legs crossed, a sheet of paper in one hand and a pipe in the other, round spectacles on his nose. A longcase clock with a gilt crest and visible pendulum stands to his left; to his right a chest of drawers carries a newspaper, books and a desk set. A basset hound waits by the chair beside a leather bag and a stack of folders, and gilt foliage runs across the white base.
