This painting is a portrait of a boy seen from the chest up, facing us with a neutral expression. He has fair skin, light eyebrows, defined, pink lips, and green eyes. His curly hair is brown and falls around his ears. The boy wears a high-collared garment with an olive-green undershirt and a reddish-orange outer vestment. There is a serene landscape in the background with rolling hills, pointed rock formations, scattered trees, bushes, and a blue sky with a few wispy clouds.
