Black and white etching of a man reading a book sitting on a chair with another figure behind him. The man sits on a chair with a curved back wearing a white shirt with billowy sleeves, and his hair is unkempt and blowing up. The man holds a book with both hands in his lap, and his head is tilted down to read. Behind him, a figure wearing a dark garment appears to have their arms raised. The image is on a white background with a darker border around the etching. The plate number 29 is in the top right corner of the image. The text under the image reads "Esto si que es leer" which translates to "That certainly is being able to read".
