National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man seated at a wooden desk with a formal posture. He has sharp facial features and light brown hair styled with waves. He wears a black coat, white shirt, black waistcoat, and a black bow tie. On the desk are sealed books, a quill pen in an inkwell, and a folded paper. The man holds a piece of paper in his left hand. Behind him is a bookshelf filled with books and documents, partially covered by a large curtain. An architectural column is visible in the background.
