The painting depicts a young man with long, dark hair, dressed in a black and white striped outfit. He wears a black shirt with puffy white sleeves, a red sash around his waist, and holds a stick in his right hand. The background is a vibrant yellow. The man's attire and the style of the painting suggest a Renaissance influence. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and dimensionality.
