A portrait of Georg Gisze, a wealthy merchant, sitting in his office.
Georg Gisze is positioned centrally in the painting, seated in a three-quarter view.
He wears a black cape draped over his right shoulder, with vibrant red silk sleeves visible underneath. His facial expression appears calm  focused. To his left, a delicate glass vase sits on a nearby shelf while a pocket watch lies
open on the table in front of him. The table is covered with a patterned carpet that adds a pop of color to the scene.
The walls behind Georg Gisze are adorned with numerous letters, some of which are folded, while others are open and appear to be in the process of being written. These letters serve as a testament to his profession as a merchant. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to step into the serene and organized world of Georg Gisze's office.
