Akakiy is a low-level official in public service. He's a copyist, and he does his job efficiently and without error. He's shown no respect in the office; his coworkers make fun of him and his overcoat. He accepts the teasing, only objecting if it interferes with his work. The Petersburg cold becomes too much for Akakiy's old, worn-out overcoat to bear. He knows he has to get it mended. Composition optimized for a 1:1 aspect ratio.
