Waist-up portrait of a young man in an embroidered light blue coat and a striped sash
A waist-up portrait depicts a young man with light skin, dark eyes, and light, somewhat disheveled hair, looking directly forward. He wears an elaborate, light blue or silver-blue coat with intricate gold embroidery visible on the lapels and cuffs. Underneath the coat, a white ruffled cravat or shirt collar is visible. A prominent red, white, and blue striped sash crosses his chest from his right shoulder down to his left hip. Several small, gold-colored medals or insignia are attached to the sash. His right hand is partially visible, tucked into the front of his coat. The figure is set against a plain, dark background, possibly dark green or brown, within an oval-shaped frame that is itself contained within a larger rectangular canvas.
