Two men (identified as tax collectors) seated at a cloth-covered table, the figure on the right looking out towards the spectator and pointing to a ledger which his companion is filling in with a quill pen whilst examining a coin held in his other hand. The table is littered with coins, money bags and jewels. Writing paraphenalia is seen on the table to the left. A parrot sits on a perch behind the men to the left and a shelf above holds other ledgers and documents and an unlit candle.

The number written in pen and ink on the verso presumably relates to Vansittart's own cataloguing system and that written in graphite to some kind of count by curators at the time of the acquisition. reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference term-9168 adlib-term-9168 6b0c59e1-73cc-3b5c-8e54-56f42806ba6f British
