In a large room, the left side being a cobbler's workshop, the right a kitchen, a cobbler sits on a bench, before an open window, his hammer in hand.

On the walls are displayed a number of tools, shoemaker's lasts, flatirons and tableware. An equestrian print with a portrait of the Duke of Cumberland on horseback hangs above the mantlepiece, and a bird in a cage hangs over the cobbler.

An elderly husband, with a look of despair and exasperation, sits at a tall cased escritoire, after reading his young wife's account book; she sits in the chair next to the desk hiding her smile behind a handkerchief. Behind her is a harp. On the desk at the husband's elbow is a book with a spine label "L'École des vieillards" and at his feet he has thrown his quill pen and the account book with the label "Dépense".

A man and woman in their pajamas and slippers stand looking in fright at the closed door of their bedroom. He wears a night cap and stands with a weapon in each hand, pointed at the door; his figure casts a large shadow on the back wall and over the bureau on which sits his tricorne hat. His wife (right) clings to his nightshirt, as she holds up a candlestick to light their way. She has her hair tied up in a scarf. To the right, their infant cries in its basket under which sits a overflowing chamber pot. On the other side of the closed door is a small mouse
