Some time ago, I was perusing the topic of economic inequality on wikipedia, and there was a painting in the side bar that caught my attention. I think it was an old oil painting, maybe 17-1800's? Victorian maybe? That may or may not be accurate... I know next to nothing of art history, or art in general, really. The picture on the left captures the tone of the one I'm looking for, but this isn't it.
The painting portrayed a bunch of fat wealthy bankers and other socialites seated in chairs. Beards, pocket-watches, top hats, etc.. Appeared to be a whole sea of them, perched upon the broken backs of the working class. Every individual was busy toiling away at some horrible labor while simultaneously holding up these fat, undeserving bastards.
It was a very poignant piece, one that sticks out in my mind, but now I can't seem to locate it anywhere. I was able to locate it somewhat easily before with a couple searches, the subject came up in conversation and I was surprised to discover its now difficult to find.
Kudos to anyone who can manage to locate this thing, I regret not writing down the name of the piece or the artist. Could by my ineptness, could be Google's political motivations. lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Shameless bump..

But, I didn't take a closer look at this one until just now... curious though. thanks for the input!
