Study of a Young Man is a 1760 oil by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, a Rococo painting work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This portrait shows a young man with long, curly brown hair and a white shirt. He wears a green jacket over a tan vest. The background is a muted brown color. The subject looks up, his eyes cast upward. His expression is calm and introspective. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The artist's attention to detail and use of chiaroscuro technique make this portrait a compelling work. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up the technique.
