Five men in black hats around a red table with an open book and gold coins

Black marble · Brass plaque · Not a reproduction

The object

Five men in black hats. One sits. Four stand. A red velvet table holds an open book and a purse of coins, and the coins have spilled onto the marble. The plaque reads The Inspectors.

They are all looking up, not at the coins. The money is on the table. It is not the subject. The look is.

The base is black marble with gold veins. The plaque is brass. The figure leaves the plate. It does not leave the museum, and it is not a toy.

The plate

Plate 11 of House of Gold. After The Syndics. Rijksmuseum, SK-C-6, 1662.

The guild is not named on the brass. The plate already said who they are.

The painting stays in the museum. This object is the plate, standing.
