This painting shows a man sitting in a red armchair, holding papers in his right hand. He is dressed in a dark suit with a red flower on his lapel and a white shirt. The background is a warm, brown color. The man's face is serious, and he looks directly at the viewer. His hand holding the papers is relaxed, with his fingers curled around them. The overall atmosphere of the painting is calm and introspective. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's technique, look up "glazing".
