Print
A vertically oriented print in black ink on cream paper depicts an interior with a man kneeling in prayer, facing our left. He has joined hands and a tilted head. To our left stands a canopied bed with draped curtains. In the foreground, a harp rests on the floor, while a stack of books sits to the right. Dense black lines create deep shadows around the brightly lit bed and figure.
