A horizontally oriented lithograph in black ink depicts a man with a light skin tone seated at a desk facing our left. He leans toward papers illuminated by a desk lamp. Dense, scribbled black strokes create heavy shadows surrounding the scene, while an empty chair sits in the foreground on our left. The composition features strong contrast between the white paper and expressive ink marks.
