Shown from the knees up, a young man with pale, peachy skin, wearing a black uniform and cap, leans against the back of a chair in this vertical portrait painting. He looks at us with pale blue eyes under sloping brows. He has an oval face, a rounded nose, and the corners of his closed mouth turn slightly down. His cap has a narrow, rounded, shiny black brim, a gold band around the crown, and a gold embellishment at the front center. The white collar of his shirt is visible along the neckline of his vest, which fastens with two lines of gold-colored buttons. His black jacket, also lined with gold buttons, hangs open. Braided gold ropes are looped under his arm from his right shoulder, to our left. More gold ropes hang down almost to his waist from that shoulder. He has a sky-blue and gold striped belt with a gold medallion at the front center over his vest. Gold bands encircle the wrists of both jacket sleeves, and his trousers are black. His right hand, to our left, rests against the back of the chair, with his palm facing away, and he leans that hip against those fingers. The chair has a coffee-brown back. He rests his other hand by his side, possibly on the hilt of a dagger or sword hanging from his far hip. The wall behind him is rust red.
