The image depicts a grayscale illustration of an old man sitting at a desk in a stone archway, wearing a hat and robe. The old man has wavy hair and sits in profile, facing left; his right arm is bent at the elbow with his hand holding a feather quill to paper on the desk. The desk holds an hourglass, a folded cloth, and a small dish on the right; and papers on the left. Behind him, through the archway, are four people sitting at a table with books. A curtain hangs from a rod on the right; on the left is a lantern and birdcage. The archway is set within a rectangular border, with a white background. The illustration is titled in cursive script at the bottom.
