A meticulously detailed oil painting of a young man, possibly androgynous, against a dark olive green, plain background in the style of portraiture from the Northern Renaissance. The man faces slightly to the left, his gaze directed at the viewer. His pale skin suggests an aristocratic background with hints of blush on his cheeks and lips. His brown hair is short and wavy, peeking out from under an elaborate hat.

The hat is a black and white checkered tam o' shanter-style cap, adorned with a large, dark red rosette. Behind the rosette are several other brightly colored flowers in various shades of orange and pink. Extending from behind the flowers and the rosette are many vibrant feathers, including a prominent peacock feather with its distinctive eye pattern, as well as orange, yellow, and white feathers.

The young man wears a rich, dark emerald green velvet gown with puffy sleeves, possibly indicative of a doublet. The garment is richly embroidered with intricate gold patterns, reminiscent of Baroque or Rococo ornamentation. Multiple strands of large, lustrous white pearls are draped around his neck, hanging over the golden embroidery. A large, ornate golden chain is intertwined with the pearls, featuring at least two large red cabochon gemstones at the center
