A Difficult Line from Horace

Niederländische Malerei 1675–1907, 1881

The artwork depicts a person seated on a cushioned bench, with the full body shown. The individual is leaning slightly forward, reading a small book held in both hands. They have short, dark hair and a focused expression. The person wears a long, flowing robe with a white base and a red upper garment. The bench is covered with a fur throw, and dark green cushions are positioned behind them. The setting is an outdoor terrace with a low wall, and the background shows a clear blue sky.
