Portrait of a Young Man (possibly Melchior von Brauweiler, 1515–1569) is a 1670 oil by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Young Adult Man, held at Glasgow Museums Resource Centre.
This painting features a young man with short brown hair, dressed in a black, high-necked shirt with billowy sleeves and a dark vest. He stands with his left hand on his hip and his right hand resting on a stone pillar, holding a white cloth. The background is a dark wall. The young man's attire and confident posture suggest he is a man of means. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and dimensionality, with the subject's face and hands illuminated against the dark background.
