This 19th-century engraving titled Striking a Bargain depicts three men engaged in animated negotiation, likely in a village or market setting. The central figure gestures upward emphatically, suggesting persuasion or emphasis in the deal-making process, while another man leans in with interest and the third watches cautiously. Their period clothing suggests a historical or rustic context. The background includes a timber structure and a small shed, reinforcing the everyday nature of the scene. The image, published by George Virtue in London, humorously captures the timeless nature of bargaining and trade.
