Sir William Forbes of Pitsligo, banker in Edinburgh
Description
A man stands in front of a tall window and beside bookcase. He holds a rolled paper in one hand and his other behind his back as he looks towards the bookshelves. There are more books and documents piled on a table beside him. In the street scene through the window a suited gentleman can be seen making a donation to a poor family. The text beneath the image reads, "The good shall mourn a brother - all a friend."
