This painting shows a young boy in a lavish outfit. He wears a long, blue coat with gold trim and a matching hat. The boy's dark, curly hair falls to his shoulders. He points to the right with his left hand, while his right hand rests on a gold object. The boy's face is smooth and pale, with rosy cheeks. His expression is neutral, and he looks straight ahead. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the boy's outfit stand out. The artist who painted this portrait is Agustin Oudart Justinat.
