This painting depicts a man with a long white beard, wearing a dark jacket over a brown shirt. He sits in a chair, holding a book in his lap. The background is a muted greenish-brown color. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. His beard is long and white, and it reaches down to his chest. The book he holds is bound in a dark cover, and it appears to be a thick volume. The painting is a portrait of a man who appears to be a writer or scholar. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Jean Alexandru Steriadi.
