Summary:
Portrait of a man, probably John Wensley, standing in a landscape with his body turned slightly to the right, his gaze directed at the viewer, his right hand holding a book, and his left hand resting atop a book on a table. He stands in front of a large tree trunk, with a view looking over a valley to the right. He has long brown hair, and wears a long coat with a full white shirt adorned with lace and embroidery.
