This painting displays an open safe filled with stacks of banknotes and coins. The safe is gray, while the money inside is in shades of green, red, and tan. The paper currency is in large bills, from $1,000 to $10,000, and the stacks are tied with pink ribbons. On the top shelf of the safe is a stack of large silver coins and smaller bronze coins. Hanging below the coins is a note on yellow paper titled "Semi-annual account" that lists the amounts of several categories: "Receipt", "Expenses", "Profit", "U.S.& B. Notes", and "Gold&Silver". The total amount is "492,392,296.50". The yellow lettering at the top of the safe reads "N.S.E. & W.R.R. DIVIDEND'S SAFE." The floor that the safe is on is a tan-and-gray checkered pattern.
