The painting shows a man, Johannes Petrus Miller, sitting with books and papers. He looks thoughtful, and the artist paid attention to the details of his clothes and the room. The painting is actually a copy of another work by Nicolaus Kleemann from the same year, which is an interesting fact about its history. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of sfumato.
