"The interior of an artisan's living-room. A young man, working at a carpenter's bench (left), turns round to look with pleased expectancy at a lottery ticket, which his wife holds out to him, alluringly inscribed with the royal arms, 'State Lottery Office L 30,000'. She is neatly dressed, wearing a hat; her apron is filled with a leg of mutton and vegetables. A child beside her has an open book, 'Road to Ruin', and looks anxiously at her mother. A well-dressed little girl plays with a cat. Simple prosperity is indicated by a well-filled hanging cupboard, and two shirts hanging on a line. On the wall is a print of Eve offering the apple to Adam."--British Museum online catalogue
