Figure descriptions
A man stands and leans over a chair. He has an elaborately curled moustache and a
feathered hat, which he has placed upon the
chair. The man turns and looks at a second man, a monk, who stands behind him holding
a palette and paint brushes. There is an easel
in the background, which holds a painting of a woman. The woman is painted in profile
view, reaching her hand out in front of her
toward a beam of light. There is an arched door behind the central figures. An open
satchel lies on the ground in front of them.
