This image is a monochrome etching or engraving that depicts a seated figure who appears to be an older man, engaged in reading a large book that is resting on a reading stand or lectern. The figure is wearing clothing that suggests the image is from an earlier historical period, which could be indicative of 17th-century European attire given the date "1663" inscribed at the bottom. He is wearing a hat and has a beard. The ambient lighting of the scene is subdued, creating a contemplative atmosphere. The room that the figure occupies has a large, dark window with visible diamond-shaped panes, and the silhouette of another piece of furniture, possibly a chair, can be discerned in the shadowy background. An object on the table to the left of the man, perhaps a candlestick, is the source of light that illuminates his face and the pages of the book, casting a focused glow in the darkened room. At the bottom of the image, there are inscriptions: "G. Brouckhorst, pinxit 1663" and "De Philosooph." These inscriptions imply that the image is titled "De Philosooph" (meaning "The Philosopher" in Dutch) and that the original painting from which this print may have been made was created by someone with the name G. Brouckhorst in the year 1663. The term "pinxit" is Latin for "painted" or "has painted," which suggests that the image is tied to a painting.

The image appears to be an old, detailed etching or engraving dating back to 1663. It portrays a scholar or philosopher sitting in a dimly lit room. The scene is set at night, emphasized by the candle on the table casting a modest light around the room. The scholar, an elderly man with a beard, is deeply engrossed in reading a large open book. He wears a dark robe and a hat, indicating that it might be cold, or he may be dressed in traditional scholarly attire. The room itself is sparsely decorated and features a window with a multi-paned design, typical of the period. There are a few other items on the table, including another book and possibly a scientific instrument or tool. The overall atmosphere of the scene is one of contemplation and study, epitomizing the solitary and dedicated pursuit of knowledge. The bottom of the image includes writing, identifying the artist as G. Berckheyde and dating the piece to 1663. The title "De Phylosooph" – an archaic spelling of "De Philosopher" in Dutch – further reinforces the depiction of a reflective, scholarly figure.
