The Baron's Prayer

A man in a nightcap and a fur-trimmed dressing gown, patterned with repeating stylized florals, kneels in left profile with his hands clasped in prayer. He faces a stack of bound volumes, visible behind an ornate candlestick holding a tall taper in the foreground. The background shows a wall decorated with a stippled landscape of trees and a distant building, framed by a decorative border.
