Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a man sitting on a barrel at a counter. The man wears a top hat, a suit with a waistcoat, and black shoes. His right elbow rests on his right knee, and he holds a cigar or cigarette in his right hand. His left hand is in his pocket. The man appears to be smoking and looking down. Behind him, to the right, is a woman wearing a hat and a long dress. To the left of the man, behind the counter, are two people. The background shows a window with various objects hanging in it, and another person is visible through a doorway. The drawing has a light-colored background with darker shading used to create depth. The overall scene appears to be set in a pub or bar. The image is titled "What Came of Killing a Rich Uncle One Christmas Time" and is by Charles Samuel Keene.
