This painting shows a man sitting at a desk with papers and prints around him. He's looking straight at us with a calm face. The man in the painting is Johannes Dallaeus, and what's interesting is that this painting is actually a copy of another work by a different artist, W. Vaillant. You can learn more about the artist who made this copy by looking up the technique of sfumato.
