Created in 1728, the artwork depicts a man seated at a table, carefully weighing money with a scale, highlighting the significance of wealth in 18th-century society. The composition is detailed, showcasing the man's focused expression and the surrounding interior, including a basket filled with money bags.

Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the artwork offers a glimpse into the daily life of a wealthy individual during the Dutch Golden Age.
