A thin miser stands before his desk laden ledgers (one with a label 'Avoir'), piles of papers, and bags of money and on top, at tray with carafe (of water?) and a partial loaf of bread with a knife; a ring of keys hang from the lock of the desk drawer. The large waste paper basket below the desk is filled with sheets of paper, one of which is titled "Bureau de Carite" and a letter "A Monsieur ... rue Pari[s] ...". He stands shivering, his nose and cheeks red with cold, as he ties one end of a string from a ball on the desk to a tie on his shirt which is thrown on the arm of the desk chair along with his coat. At the left on the wall above the mantel is a picture "Les Israélites adorant le veau d'or" which is signed lower left G. De Cari and lower right Maleuvre. The mantel holds a clock, two fine china cups with saucers and two candlesticks, one candle burnt low, the other unused. A thin cat looks up at him meowing. Through the window on the right is a view of the neighboring buildings
