On his lap is a keyboard and his feet rest up on a railing. By his side is one of the DEC VT-220 style monitors. The advert is for the integrated processor-VDU packages they sold -- probably LSI-11 based rather than the later 8088 models (Rainbow??). I always rather liked the idea of working in such a pleasant environment.

Oh yeah, I remember that ad. Kind of laptops before their time. And yes, I would have taken the work place with or without the work.
