A crowd of rotund stock brokers sit and stand around a table and against a wall with a clock. The broker centered in the front reads from a copy of the Gazette Extraordinary while some of the others peer over his shoulders looking for news, many where glasses and one uses a glass to read the print on the page.

On the right a Jewish stockbrocker with a very large belly stands in the door way of his establishment; the sign over the door identifies him as "Solomon Stock broke[r]".
