This painting shows a young man with curly, gray hair. He is wearing a fancy outfit with a black vest, white lace, and a gold sash. His right hand rests on a black helmet. The background is dark, but you can see a cityscape with buildings and a blue sky. The young man looks like he's posing for a picture, with his left hand on his hip. If you want to learn more about the artist who painted this, look up Pierre Gobert.
