Description

A man in a jacket, waistcoat and tie sits in a slatted wooden deck chair on a terrace, his head bent as if reading. A pine tree branches over him, and a small wooden table with objects stands at the right. Behind the terrace, wooded hills slope down into a valley, and another wooden chair stands in the foreground.

A man in a jacket, waistcoat and tie sits in a wooden deck chair with his head bowed over his hands, apparently reading or resting. Overhead a pine tree spreads its branches, and wooded hills rise behind the terrace. A small wooden table at the right holds papers and a few objects, and part of another deck chair blurs in the foreground.
