The work is emblematic of the Northern Renaissance period, characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, vivid realism, and moralistic overtones. Van Reymerswaele, known for his satirical approach to subjects, employs his artistry to critique the greed and corruption often associated with money handlers of his time.

The painting showcases the two central figures surrounded by the tools of their trade: coins, ledgers, and money bags, which are rendered with almost tangible texture and metallic sheen. Their faces, marked by sly expressions and furrowed brows, reflect the psychological insight van Reymerswaele brings to his character studies. The meticulous depiction of their garments, with crisp folds and subtle color variations, further demonstrates the artist's skillful handling of oil paint.
