"The ___ Company" (Frans Hals portrait) (6)

I believe the answer is:

meagre

(Other definitions for meagre that I've seen before include "unsatisfactorily small in amount" , "Stingy - thin" , "Small, insufficient" , "Paltry" , "Polite form of address" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
