A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a man with light skin tone seated in a red chair, turned slightly to our right. He looks at us with dark, wavy hair and a subtle smile, wearing a high black neckcloth and coat. His right hand, captured in smooth, blended brushstrokes, holds a book with red edges. Behind him, a gray stone wall is flanked by trees and a soft, cloudy sky.
