The artwork depicts a man with a grotesque face sitting at a table, leaning on an open book with his left hand and propped up by his left elbow. He appears to have bat-like wings protruding from his back. His facial features are exaggerated, with sunken eyes, a prominent nose, and a wide mouth. At the bottom of the image, there is a line of small text in cursive script. The background shows other figures in the distance. The entire image is presented on a beige background with a raised border around it.
