United States 1780s: Two men in period costume, wearing ruffled cravats and powdered wigs, stand beside a marble bust in a grand hall with columns and a shuttered window. They shake hands and converse near the sculpture, which appears to depict a historical statesman, possibly Alexander Hamilton or James Madison, before the camera moves in for a closer view of one man alongside the bust.
