AHA!!! ... Maybe....
I thought it looked like Verne,  ..it has the familiar "bow"(?) tie when you look at the close ups
But admittedly, every time I see Verdi I think the same thing!!!

I guess if we could see the books he was resting on, that might seal it!

If it is Verdi, it is not very musical looking! (if that makes any sense)

I'm sure, that's not Jules Verne, but probably Giuseppe Verdi.
