Man Seated With His Reading and Writing Materials before Him
A man sits on the floor on a green patterned rug, wearing a black jacket over a beige top and black pants. He sits on the right side of a low wooden table with his head resting on his right arm. The table holds books, papers, and a vase with a feather-like plant. The room has white walls and a blue panel on the left. Two framed pictures hang on the walls. Japanese writing appears on the left edge and in the bottom center.
