ject Looking for a paintingPlease helpI
have been looking on and off for years for this
painting. The painting is of a very well dressed
renaissance man standing in a room (a library) in
front of him on a table is a large hour glass.
The painting has very rich colors. I have talked
to a lot of people and they have said they have
seen this painting but can't remember its name or
the name of the artist.Could you please use
your resources to find this painting?
