This is a pencil sketch of a writer seated at his cluttered, book-strewn desk holding a scroll in his left hand and a quill pen in his right. On the scroll is the quote “No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader,” from Robert Frost. In the background is a circular window with one pane open. In the right middle ground stands a hat rack with his hat, coat and satchel hanging from it. At the bottom is the quote “One day, I will find the right words, and they will be simple,” from Jack Kerouac.
