You see a man sitting in a library, surrounded by books. He looks comfortable and relaxed. The man in the painting is Riter Fitzgerald, a critic who supported the artist. He was a big fan of many types of art and music. He liked to think deeply about things, and his library shows that. Check out the work of artist Thomas Eakins.
