A satirical scene of an enraged man reproaching his wife for her spendthrift ways. He stands, clutching the bill which reveals her latest extravagant purchases, and gesticulates furiously. In comical contrast, his wife is seated calmly in her chair, wearing an expression of nonchalance, patently unperturbed by her husband's outburst. She is clothed in ostentatious and clearly expensive finery.
