A standing man wearing a cap and apron leans over a wooden worktable, pressing or handling a rectangular object on the table. Nearby, two seated figures crouch on the floor among stacks of large rectangular boards or sheets, one bending forward as if working with the pile. Shelves filled with stacked books or similar rectangular items line the left wall, and a ladder leans against the shelving. Various tools and containers rest on a small wall shelf above the worktable, and additional boards and objects are stored beneath the table. The floor is wooden, and the overall image is rich in crosshatched shading and fine linework.
