About this work

The painting shows a man in a dark coat and white collar, holding a book. His face is calm, with soft light on one side. The background is plain and dark, making him stand out. This work copies a print by N. Verkolje. A Latin poem was added under the image later. The painter kept the original’s quiet mood. Look up Broen, G. de Jr.
