About this work

A dimly lit interior shows a bearded, elderly man seated at a desk beside a tall arched window, his hand raised to his chin as he contemplates an open book. A spiral staircase curls up along the left side of the hall, and a pool of light falls across the stone floor. The painting is attributed to Salomon Koninck, dated 1645, and held by the Musée du Louvre.
