The image depicts a black-and-white drawing of a man sitting at a table. The man has a receding hairline and a long beard. He wears a long-sleeved shirt. His head is turned to the right, and he rests his chin on his hand while holding a book with the other. The table in front of him holds several objects, including books, a small dish, and a cylindrical container. To the right of the table are two large ceramic pots. Behind the man, there is a chair with a curved back. In the background, two windows with diamond-shaped panes are visible. The walls of the room appear dark. The drawing is signed "A.L." in the bottom-left corner. The artwork is titled "The Philosopher" and is by Alphonse Legros.
