Inside a study, with thick stone walls and a vaulted ceiling, simple furniture but a bookcase filled with tomes, a monk sits at his work table, inside a manuscript. Jeno Kemendy, a Hungarian painter and set designer, devoted himself primarily to genre scenes, often set in earlier periods than his own historical period. His expertise as a set designer also shines through in this painting, in the attention to detail of the setting and the man's theatrical pose. The work features slight paint loss. It is presented in a period frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
