Description:
A stooped man with grotesque facial features wears a long coat made of banknotes. The front of his body pivots aways from the viewer as he walks to the right. A crumpled top hat shields his eyes. He carries a large bag of money over his left shoulder and holds a walking stick in his right hand. This is a political caricature of Baron Joseph Dominique Louis, Minister of Finance in France (1814-19 and 1830-32).
