Portrait of a man. On the other side a bubble-blowing putto. The man, probably Adam Wachendorff, was introduced to the hips, standing at a table. In the right hand a letter, the left hand in the side. On the table are paper, a pen, an ink jar and a watch. On the reverse a naked bubble-blowing putto in a landscape.
