About this work
A man in a long coat and open collar sits at a desk, holding a quill over an open book while glancing to the side. Stacked books, an inkwell and a classical sculpture on a pedestal fill the room, rendered in fine cross-hatched lines. Célestin Nanteuil's print from 1834 is titled Seated Man with Quill in his Right Hand at Desk Littered with Books.
