An old, bearded man in a cap and long, furred robe, sits by a table, his eyes downcast in a pensive expression. On the table, placed next to large and opened window, are several volumes and an inkwell. One of the volumes is opened and propped up on a lectern. On ledge separating lower and upper window stands a vase. In the background is an empty fireplace. A plate hangs on the wall above it.
