Photograph of "Distraining for Rent," a painting by David Wilkie. The painting depicts a family in distress as a bailiff, dressed in a long coat and hat, and his assistants appear to be in the process of evicting them. A few people seem to be arguing in defense of the despairing family. An inventory number is partially visible on the lower left corner of the image.
