''The Marriage Settlement'' is the first in the series of six satirical paintings known as ''Marriage à-la-mode'' painted by William Hogarth. == People == All the main characters are introduced here, at the beginning of the story. Starting with the man under the canopy and moving across the scene there is: * Earl/Lord Squanderfield * The man facing out the window, with his back to the scene, perhaps an architect. * The man standing at the table, perhaps the Earl's creditor * The Alderman — seated, facing the Earl * The lawyer Silvertongue — standing, next to the bride * The bride — seated, next to the Viscount * Viscount Squanderfield, the Earl's son — seated, on the far left The only other character who is given a name is the doctor in plate III. Also, Silvertongue is not named until the final plate, VI; his name is given here for convenience. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marriage à-la-mode: 1.
