Housed in a sleek black wooden frame with glass panels on both sides and ready-to-hang hardware, the piece vividly illustrates the rise of Francis Goodchild, the diligent apprentice turned Alderman, as he judges his former idle peer, Tom Idle. A powerful example of 18th-century social commentary, the artwork features rich detail, biblical inscriptions, and timeless messages about virtue, justice, and personal responsibility. See less
