| Title: | Merchant taking accounts |
|---|
| Notes: | "A merchant is at work in his warehouse surrounded by the tools of his trade. Standing on a woolsack, he weighs goods on a large balance using a set of standardised avoirdupois weights. The large scales are falsely balanced with ropes of different lengths, possibly a typical commentary on the theme of working for profit.The subject of this roundel has recently become clear. It is thought to represent one of the Ages of Man." -- [from the Victoria and Albert Museum, Wikimedia] |
