Young man in red is a 1769 oil by James Millar, a Rococo painting work, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
The painting depicts a young man dressed in a vibrant red suit, standing in a lush outdoor setting. He is positioned in front of a stone structure, with a building visible in the background. The man's attire is complemented by a white shirt and a long red coat draped over his shoulder. In the foreground, the artist has skillfully rendered the textures of the foliage and the stone structure, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The use of warm colors, particularly the red of the man's suit, adds a sense of energy and vitality to the scene. This painting is reminiscent of the works of James Millar, who was known for his portraits of young men in elaborate attire.
