About this work

A pen and wash drawing shows an elderly man in a long robe seated on a wooden table within a stone-walled cell, reading a sheet of paper beside a barred window. Shelves hold books, a bottle and a ceramic vessel, and an inscription across the top reads CARCER SOCRATIS DOMUS HONORIS FUIT. The work is attributed to Hubert Robert and dated 1794.
