Symbiosis Man and Machine 0 - Image Index | Yenra Quiet Study: The painting depicts a person seated at a desk, engaged in reading from an open book while holding a pen. The individual is attired in dark attire and has their left hand grasping the pen. Their right hand rests on top of the book's pages, which are slightly turned to reveal lines of text that appear to be handwritten notes or writing. The person is positioned in front of an illuminated desk lamp with a round glass shade, casting a warm glow over the scene. In addition to the desk and chair, other items on the table include a small box or container situated between them, a short stack of books or papers placed behind the chair, and another book partially visible behind the person's right elbow. The overall atmosphere evoked by this painting is one of quiet contemplation and studiousness.
