The painting depicts a young boy with curly hair, holding a glass and looking to his right. He is dressed in 17th-century attire, including a hat and a lace-trimmed shirt. The boy's facial expression is one of concentration, as if he is carefully examining the contents of his glass. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the boy's features and the glass he is holding. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Rembrandt, who was known for his use of chiaroscuro to create dramatic lighting effects in his paintings.
