Scholar Sharpening His Quill (1633) by Doe, Gerard
The painting depicts a scholar, who is presumably Dou himself, sharpening a quill pen. The scholar is seated at a table, and he is wearing a black robe and a white collar. He is holding the quill pen in his right hand, and he is using a knife to sharpen the tip. The table is covered with books and papers, and there is a window in the background, which provides natural light.
