This painting shows a man sitting with a book. He looks serious and thoughtful. The artist likely copied this from an earlier work, which is interesting because it shows how artists reused ideas. The original painting was made by J.M. Quinkhart in 1738. This copy is similar, but we don't know when it was made. You can learn more about this style by looking at the technique of sfumato.
