The image depicts a man seated at a table. He is examining an object closely held in his hands. The man has a long, bushy beard and is wearing a beret-style hat, appearing elderly. His hair is slightly scraggly and peeks out from under his hat. He is dressed in a loose, long-sleeved garment, suggesting a robe. On the table are an open book with thick pages, an hourglass, and a partially lit candle in a holder. The background is filled with cross-hatched drawing and appears dark, giving a sense of an enclosed space.
