A man sits at a desk reading a book, which is propped up by another book, with a smoldering candle nearby. Behind this is a large open window with what appears to be the sun's rays shining upward, and a large dark bird flying overhead.
A circle-shaped plate in which a tree branches off into two—to the left is an artist's palette; to the right, and open book. Beneath the title text is the motto Build Yourselves Nests of Pleasant Thoughts.
