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".
