This painting shows three men in a room. The man in the middle is sitting at a desk with papers and coins on it. He is wearing a yellow robe and a red hat. The man on the left is standing and looking at the man in the middle. The man on the right is sitting and pointing at the man in the middle. The room is dimly lit, but there is a beam of light shining on the man in the middle. This makes his face and clothes stand out. The background is dark, which makes the men in the room look more important. The artist who painted this is Hendrick ter Brugghen.
