Description
A half-length portrait of a young man in a striking red jacket and broad-brimmed cap. The brushwork and handling suggest Drost's authorship.
Analysis
The free, confident brushwork in the jacket and the sensitive modelling of the face are consistent with Drost's portrait style. The bold red of the jacket is a color Drost employed in several works.
