L'amour de l'or

A lithograph of a tense interior scene: a hunched, elderly man with a bearded face sits at a draped table counting coins, while a standing older man watches at right and several women and a boy crowd the left. A scattered pile of coins glints on the cloth, and the composition is framed by the dark room. Printed on a sheet with a Salon 1844 inscription.
