Detailed Description
A full-length image shows a young man standing in an interior setting. He is positioned slightly to the right of center, facing forward with his head turned slightly to the left. His left arm is bent at the elbow, with his hand resting on his hip. His right arm is extended forward, palm open, gesturing towards a large, ornate wooden table to his left. He wears a white powdered wig, a white ruffled shirt, a white waistcoat with gold embroidery, red breeches, white stockings, and black shoes with buckles. On the table are a stack of books, a quill and inkwell, a classical bust of a woman, and a celestial globe. Behind the table, a larger classical statue of a standing figure is visible. The background features a dark wall on the left and a draped brown curtain on the right. Through an opening, a blue sky and a green, hilly landscape with a distant building are visible. To the right of the young man, a dark green upholstered chair holds a dark hat. A small brown and white dog lies on the checkered green and white floor in the lower left corner, looking up at the young man.
