After an oil on panel which was previously attributed to Quentin Massys (1465/6-1530) but which is now believed to be by a Follower of Marinus van Roymerswaele (c.1490-c.1567), known as The Misers (1548-51; Royal Collection Trust, RCIN 405707). 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.
