This portrait shows a young man with fair skin and short, light-brown hair. He wears a dark suit with a white turtleneck underneath, and his hands are in his pockets. The background is a dark red wall. The subject stands on a light-colored, patterned rug, and the overall atmosphere of the painting is subdued. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. The painting is held at the Nationalmuseum.
