This painting depicts a young man in a suit of armor, holding a helmet in his left hand and a sword in his right. He wears a white lace collar and a gold sash around his waist. The background is a landscape with rolling hills and a cloudy sky. The young man's armor is shiny and black, with gold accents. His hair is curly and gray. He looks directly at the viewer with a serious expression. This portrait is reminiscent of the work of artists who specialized in painting the French royal family, such as Pierre Gobert.
