Un homme en chemise blanche, vêtu d'une tenue historique, est penché sur une table et écrit avec une plume d'oie. Il tient un encrier dans une main et semble concentré sur son travail. La table est couverte de divers objets, dont plusieurs flacons d'encre et des outils d'écriture. L'ambiance est studieuse et authentique, évoquant une scène d'écriture manuscrite traditionnelle.
