Young Man with Hat under Arm

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-length drawing of a person in profile. The individual is standing upright with one foot slightly in front of the other, and their hands are clasped in front of them at waist level. The person has distinct facial features and styled hair pulled back in a fashion typical of the 18th century. They are dressed in elegant attire of the era, including a long fitted coat, knee-length breeches, and stockings. A tree and dense foliage are visible in the background, suggesting a garden or park-like setting. The image is framed by a rectangular border with a light textured background.
