Also, an Original Letter from Charles Keller discussing the item. The image is of 2 main characters a politician / businessman and a military officer striking a deal. They are both perceived in a negative light with their assistants or puppeteers directly behind them. The background suggests a room for people of power or high significance, but the imagery suggests a lack of empathy.
