"L'avare comptant ses pièces" (The Miser Counting His Coins) is a genre painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Adriaen Brouwer, believed to have been created in the early 17th century, although the exact date of creation is not known. Brouwer was renowned for his small, dark, and often humorous depictions of lower-class life, especially scenes in taverns and other everyday settings that illustrate human vices and follies.

The painting depicts a miser, hunched over and absorbed in the act of counting his money. The subject is a common one in the genre of moralizing art, where the miser is often used as a symbol of greed and the futility of earthly possessions. Brouwer's treatment of the theme is notable for its psychological depth and the vividness of the character's expression. The work is executed with a masterful use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, which highlights the intensity of the miser's concentration and the tactile quality of the coins and other objects.

While the exact dimensions and current location of "L'avare comptant ses pièces" are not specified here, Brouwer's works are typically small in scale, and his paintings are held in various museum collections worldwide. The artist's ability to capture human emotions and the textures of materials with such economy of scale is part of what has earned him a lasting place in the canon of Northern European art.

Adriaen Brouwer's life was short and troubled, and he produced a relatively small body of work. However, his influence was significant, particularly on later artists such as David Teniers the Younger and Jan Steen, who also specialized in genre scenes. "L'avare comptant ses pièces" is an exemplary piece of Brouwer's oeuvre, encapsulating his keen observation of human nature and his skillful manipulation of paint to create a compelling narrative scene.
