This is a painting of an aged figure in a flowing robe holding a tablet overhead. The figure is seated. The artwork is rendered in earthy tones with a textured surface. The figure's expression is solemn, and the drapery of the robe is detailed. The piece captures a dramatic use of light and shadow typical of Rembrandt's work.
