A vertically oriented oil painting in visible brushstrokes depicts a young man with light skin tone and a rounded face with reddish cheeks. He turns toward our left, eyes looking away, with short, curly brown hair. He wears a white shirt and a thick red scarf, sharply defined against the muted, gray-brown background. Bright highlights on his face and shirt contrast with the shadows where light enters from our left.
