His hands are clasped together in front of him as he looks directly at the viewer. The background is dark, with a lighter area behind the boy's head. The boy's attire and hairstyle suggest an earlier time period, but the exact date is unknown. The painting's style is formal and dignified, capturing the boy's serious expression.
