He sits at a table holding a magnifying glass. On the table in front of him are two large books with dark covers. The background features wall hangings including a circular object with a bird perched on top. There are ornate carvings on the wall and a framed relief sculpture depicting a nude figure holding a torch. A curtain hangs on the wall behind the man. The image appears to be a drawing or etching. The title is "Portrait of Edmond de Goncourt" and the artist is Félix Bracquemond.
