The image shows five men in suits sitting around a table. The room is plain, with a clock and papers on the wall. Their faces are serious, like they’re handling big decisions. This drawing was made for a magazine around 1900. It’s unsigned, so we don’t know who drew it. The artist used tiny lines, called cross-hatching, to shade the faces and clothes. See these same men in person at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
