Bearded man in black robes sits at a table, holding paper, landscape through window
A man is depicted half-length, seated behind a table, looking slightly to his right with a direct gaze. He has fair skin, short brown hair with bangs, and a full, reddish-brown beard and mustache. He wears a dark, voluminous robe, possibly black, with wide sleeves and a white collar visible at his neck. His right hand, adorned with a gold ring on the little finger, holds a rolled piece of white paper. His left arm rests on a dark surface, partially obscured by his body. The background is divided into two main sections. To the man's left, a dark green curtain hangs. To his right, a window or opening reveals a landscape under a light blue sky. The landscape features rolling green hills, scattered trees, and what appears to be a light-colored building or castle structure nestled among the hills in the middle distance. The foreground, below the man's waist, shows a table covered with a patterned textile. This textile features a red border with a geometric pattern in black, white, and gold, and a central band with a repeating white and black motif on a dark background. On the far left of the table, a small, dark hourglass with a light-colored base is visible.
