Two politicians out of office sit shivering in a garret with very downcast expressions. The man on the left writes on a paper entitled 'Abusing Administration', with other similar papers scattered at his feet and those of his partner. Their landlady presents a unpaid bill for their lodging; a tattered print pinned to the wall behind, depicting an anchor inscribed 'Hope'. Both men are much thinner than in the companion print celebrating their corrupt practices: "In place. En emploi." A tattered curtain partially obscures the diamond-paned windows. On the right shelves hold dishes and a broken candle stuck in a bottle as a lamp; below the shelves is a chair and a nearby chamber pot
