Uncommonly attractive portrayal of an early 19th century archivist or antiquary, sitting at his desk and buried in the study of manuscripts, with piles of early printed books or index volumes at his feet.

Signed at bottom right; old gallery labels on verso. A few chips to the upper edge of the pretty frame, otherwise very well preserved.
