National Gallery of Art

This painting shows a man seated on a decorative red chair, his body turned towards the left and his head turned to look at us. He has a round face, light skin, and gray curly hair that goes down past his shoulders. He wears a red robe with thick white fur trim and rests one arm on a red table or surface on the left. On top of this surface are several sheets of white paper. In the background, there is a stone pillar on the left and draped green curtains on the right.
