He wears a short, fringed skirt and a long-sleeved shirt with a high collar, adorned with intricate details and patterns. His right hand rests on a table beside him, while his left hand grasps a sword at his side. To the right of the young man, a helmet sits atop the table, its design and craftsmanship evident in the etching. The overall scene exudes a sense of elegance and refinement, characteristic of Renaissance art.
