This painting shows a young boy's head and shoulders. He has dark eyes and short, wavy brown hair. The boy is wearing a dark-colored shirt with a high collar. The background of the painting is dark and blurry. The boy's face is the main focus of the painting. His expression is neutral, and he looks straight ahead. The artist used a lot of detail to paint the boy's hair and clothes. The artist who painted this, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, was also a sculptor.
