About this work

A graphite drawing on tan paper shows a seated man in a dark coat and white cravat, turning toward the viewer while writing with a quill on an open sheet. Beside him, a bust of a bearded figure and a stone head rest near stacked volumes, one spine legible as referring to an antiquities subject, and bookshelves fill the background.
