A vertically oriented engraving depicts an elderly, haloed man with a long beard sitting at a wooden desk, writing. In the foreground, a large lion and small dog sleep on the floor. To our left, a window casts lattice-patterned shadows near a skull resting on the windowsill. The back wall features an hourglass and a wide-brimmed hat. Fine, dense lines create intricate textures throughout the monochromatic scene.
