Standing Young Man with a Cane

Hendrik Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing with a slight lean, resting one hand on a stick while the other is on their waist. Their head is turned slightly upward and to the side, showing a profile view with wavy shoulder-length hair. The person is dressed in flowing robes, barefoot. They hold a stick or staff, surrounded by intricate plant details, lush vegetation at their feet, and a tree or large plant beside them. The background features a sky with stylized clouds and a faint outline of a distant building or structure.
