Description
A young man in shabby clothes and untidy hair is seen from the side sitting at a desk and biting into an apple while writing with a quill on a piece of paper.
The illustration is complemented by the following words from William Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice: His master and he are scarce cater-cousins.
