    This was made during the 2008 financial Crisis in the United States. I wanted to get Davis and Louise into one of the paintings and this seemed like the place to do it, as Louise is a descendant of Aaron Burr.  Pictured is Hamilton suffering the fatal wound from his Duel with Burr and there are Louise and Davis doing what they can.
