A group portrait of three sons of William Money (1738–1796), a Director of the East India Company, commissioned by Sir Robert Wigram, Money's lifelong friend and business partner. The central figure, William Taylor, is shown in three-quarter length, looking towards the viewer. He wears the uniform of a lieutenant of the East India Company marine service. He was the eldest son and had his first East India commission as a lieutenant in the ‘Rose’ in 1786. In 1793 he became commander of Wigram's ship, the 'General Goddard', taking her on a particularly successful initial voyage and later commanded other Wigram ships including the 'Walthamstow'. On his retirement from sea in 1801 he became Marine Superintendent at Bombay. From 1811 he was a director of the Company, an elder brother of Trinity House and an MP.
