The painting depicts a young boy with dark, curly hair, dressed in a black jacket over a white shirt. He sits at a table, his right hand raised to his head, while his left hand rests on the table, palm up. A small amount of blood is visible on his left hand. The boy's attire and the table setting suggest a formal or educational environment. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the scene.
