Der Zinsgroschen. Nach Peter Paul Rubens is a 1630 oil by Samuel Hoffmann, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting shows a group of men gathered around a central figure, who is holding out his hand with a few coins in it. The men are dressed in robes and head coverings, and they all seem to be looking at the central figure with interest. The central figure is wearing a pink robe and a gray cloak, and he has his right arm raised in the air. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to draw attention to the figures in the foreground. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure and his gesture. Look up chiaroscuro.
