The painting depicts an elderly man with white hair and a white beard wearing a dark robe with a greenish-brown sleeve. He sits at a table with his right elbow resting on the surface and his hand on his face, while his left index finger points at an open book. A human skull rests beside the book. The background transitions from dark to light brown. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown dominating the scene.
