The painting shows a man sitting at a table, looking at the viewer. He is wearing a hat and a fur-trimmed coat. The background is a landscape with hills and a building. The man is holding a book in his hands. The man's face is serious, and he seems to be thinking deeply. The landscape behind him is peaceful, with rolling hills and a few trees. The building in the background is not clear, but it looks like a church or a castle. The painting is done in a realistic style, with lots of detail and texture. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume. If you're interested in learning more about this style, you might want to look up the Baroque movement.
