Library Scene

Brown and faded painting depicting a scene inside a building. The interior space has a floor and three walls visible; the left wall, the back wall and the right wall. A dark line outlines the ceiling and edges of the walls. A long low table with turned legs stands centered on the left side, with a box on top of it. To the right of the table, a man in a white garment sits on the floor beside a low wooden table with a vessel on it. The man holds an object in one hand. A second person stands to the right of the seated man, their face not visible. Their right arm extends downward. On the right edge, there are several vertical lines of Asian script. The painting surface appears old and worn.
