Rembrandt's Sampling Officials comes to mind[1] and several works by Jan de Baen[2] because he painted so many portraits. If you ever go to a Dutch Masters exhibit at a museum look for portraits titled along the lines of "Portrait of a Merchant" or "Portrait of a Banker." You'll notice they often include things like coins that are in the middle of being counted with one hand and writing instrument in the other to symbolize the accounting.
