This portrait is of a young man with curly brown hair, wearing a black jacket and white cravat. The subject is painted against a muted green background. The painting is rendered in oil paint, with the artist's attention to detail evident in the subject's attire and hairstyle. The overall effect is one of quiet dignity. If you're interested in learning more about this style of portraiture, you might want to look up the work of artist Johannes Baptista van Acker.
