Portrait of a Scholar

Black and white image of a seated man. The man wears a light-colored robe that drapes over his legs. He sits on a low table with his feet tucked underneath him. A dark-colored hat covers his hair. The man's hands are folded in his lap. The table has a dark-colored top and legs. A patterned border runs along both sides of the image. The background behind the man fades from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
