Portrait of a man with medium-length dark hair, wearing a black suit jacket with matching trousers, a white shirt, and a dark bowtie, seated in a cushioned chair in front of a column, a curtain, a shelf of books and a paper scroll, with his right arm leaning on an end table and his hand haging limply, and lis left elbow on the arm of the chair, holding a hardcover book on his lap with his left hand, facing slightly to the left, leaning forward slightly and looking at the viewer.
