The Brothers Were Having a Conversation, Sara Troost, after Cornelis Troost, 1769
brush, h 278mm × w 353mm More details
A pleasant evening between friends descends into drunken disorder. The last drawing in the series shows the men as they stumble home, with two of them kissing in the centre of the picture. This series carries a moralising message: this is what happens when men lose their sense of reason and self-control under the influence of alcohol.
