A young man in dark clothing and a hat holds a book, standing by a carved pedestal
A full-length portrait depicts a young man standing in a dimly lit interior. He faces forward with a slight turn to his right, his gaze directed towards the viewer. His skin is light, and he has short, light brown hair visible beneath a dark, flat cap adorned with small, gold-colored spikes or studs. He wears a dark, possibly black or deep blue, fitted jacket with puffed sleeves and a high, ruffled white collar. A blue sash is tied around his waist, visible below his right hand. His left hand rests on a small, gold-edged book placed on a dark, ornate pedestal to his left. The pedestal features carved details, including a grotesque face on its side. His right hand is placed on his hip, with a simple gold ring visible on his ring finger. The background on the left features a dark architectural element, possibly an archway or column, receding into shadow. On the right, a lighter wall section and a wooden door or panel are visible, along with the top of another dark, carved furniture piece.
