Wealthy Men at the Stock Exchange (by Edgar Degas) Magnet

This design features a painting by the French artist Edgar Degas (1834–1917). It shows a scene taking place in an interior corner of the open trading floor of the Paris Stock Exchange (The Paris Bourse). The painting was once in the collection of the French banker Ernest May, and he can be seen in the centre of the group wearing a top hat and pince-nez, looking dignified and listening to his colleague. The original artwork is now housed in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris. It was first painted circa 1879.
