Brief Description

A white-haired man in dark clothes writes in a red book outdoors, mountains behind him

Detailed Description

A white-haired man is seated outdoors, writing in a small, red-covered book, with a mountainous landscape behind him. The man is positioned slightly right of center, facing forward but looking slightly to his left. He has white, curly hair and a fair complexion. He wears a dark, long coat and a white cravat. His left arm is bent, holding the book, while his right hand holds a pen poised over its pages. He is seated on a dark green and brown grassy mound. The background features a vast sky that transitions from light blue at the top to a lighter tan near the horizon. On the left, a large, light-colored mountain range with snow-capped peaks rises. To the right, another smaller, lighter mountain or rock formation is visible. To the man's right, a dark, wide-brimmed hat rests on the ground.
