The image shows an older man sitting at a desk. He is turned slightly to his right, with his right arm resting on the surface and his left hand holding a pencil over a sheet of paper or board. He has a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, and a thoughtful expression, as well as short, mostly white hair that is receding at the temples. He is wearing a dark coat or tunic. On the desk are sketches, prints, and paper materials, along with a pot of flowers and a rectangular object, possibly a magnifying glass. The background features wooden paneling and a framed picture, creating an office or study setting.
