This painting shows a man in a red robe and hat, sitting at a desk with various objects. He is holding a skull in his left hand and touching his forehead with his right hand. The desk has a candle, a book, and other items on it. The man's expression is serious, and the overall mood of the painting is somber. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The painting is held at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
