About this work

A man in dark robes and a white collar sits in a study, one hand raised to his head and gazing upward, with an open book resting on his lap. A faint ghostly figure appears in the shadowy upper left, and the work is rendered in loose washes of brown, red, and blue. This Ary Scheffer painting is dated 1831.
