A male figure standing in a room full of books. A man stands in the centre of the image. Both his arms are raised above his head, hands open, fingers spread wide. He has thinning hair that is slightly long at the sides, and he wears a long black coat, open, over a black waistcoat and trousers. In front of him, the floor is covered with books lined up in rows. The walls behind him have many shelves. Most of these are empty, but a few contain books. Behind him on the left, books stand piled on the floor. Behind him on the right are two open crates.
