Gentleman in his Study is a 1791 oil by François-André Vincent, held at Detroit Institute of Arts.
The painting depicts a man sitting at a desk, surrounded by papers and books. He is dressed in 18th-century attire, wearing a brown jacket over a white shirt with a ruffled collar. His hair is styled in a powdered wig, and he holds a piece of paper in his right hand. The man's face is turned slightly to the right, and his expression appears thoughtful. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation.
