Photograph of a man standing behind a desk, gazing down. The desk is piled with books and papers. The man appears to be searching for his spectacles through the papers and books on the table. The spectacles are on top of his head. The pen, which he also assumes lost, is in his mouth. In the background a woman observes from behind a curtain.
