Portrait of a Young Man in Uniform

European 18th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a young person in a slightly tilted position, looking towards the viewer. They have fair skin, delicate facial features, eyes slightly widened, and softly closed lips. The person's hair is styled in a powdered 18th-century fashion with curls and tied with a ribbon. They wear a blue coat with red and gray trim, adorned with buttons. The background is a simple, muted grayish-brown tone.
