This painting shows a young man's head and shoulders. He wears a red hat and a black shirt with a white collar. The background is blue. The man's face is serious. His hair is brown and cut short. The red hat is large and has a big brim that curves up on one side. The white collar is ruffled and stands up around his neck. This painting is a good example of a Renaissance portrait.
