Dressed in humble, earth-toned garments and a straw hat, he exudes a sense of rustic dignity and solitude. Beside him, a table draped in a white cloth supports a stack of books and a woven basket, hinting at a life of practicality and perhaps storytelling or reflection. His surroundings are sparse and dark, drawing attention to the figure's expressive posture and weathered features.
Objects on the floor—including a worn cap, a letter, and a fishing creel—add a narrative layer to the composition, suggesting a connection to nature or past correspondence.

The ornate, gilded frame adds a dramatic contrast to the simplicity of the subject, heightening the sense of timelessness and introspection captured in the piece.

No visible signature.

The painting is in good/vintage condition.

Presented in a spectacular gilded period frame.
