About this work

An elderly man in a dark coat sits at a cluttered writing desk in a dim, low-ceilinged room, reading a large open book beneath a green-shaded lamp. A black bird perches on the sill of a sunlit window at left, and several framed pictures hang on the wall behind him. Carl Spitzweg painted this interior in 1850, now held by the Museum Georg Schäfer.
