This painting shows a man sitting at a table, wearing a hooded robe. The table has a few small objects on it, and the man is holding a piece of paper. The background is a simple wall with an arched doorway. The man's face is serious, and his eyes are cast downward. The painting is done in a simple style, with bold lines and flat colors. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. The artist who created this work is Rinaldo da Siena.
