The painting depicts a man with long, wavy hair, wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt. He holds an open book in his right hand and touches his chest with his left hand. The background is dark, with a subtle oval shape around the subject. The man's expression is serious, and his gaze is directed slightly to the left. The book he holds appears to be old, with yellowed pages and black text. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber and contemplative. This painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
