Portrait of a 24-year-old man is a 1624 oil by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Man, held at Städel Museum.
This portrait shows a young man, 24 years old, with dark hair and a mustache. He wears a black coat with a white ruffled collar and cuffs. His right hand is on his chest, and his left arm is bent at the elbow, with his hand resting on his hip. The background is a plain gray wall. The man's face is turned slightly to his right, and his eyes seem to be looking at something in the distance. His expression is serious, but there is a hint of a smile on his lips. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The portrait is a great example of the artist's skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression.
