This portrait captures a young nobleman distinguished by his vivid red military uniform, adorned with an array of gleaming medals and sashes that accentuate his prominent status. The figure faces the viewer head-on, his expression serious yet calm, with a faint blush lending warmth to his pale complexion. Against a dark, almost black background, the detailed textures of his attire— from the fine embroidery to the glossy metallic decorations—stand out vividly, revealing an artist's meticulous attention to detail and command of light and shadow.

The composition centers around the sitter’s face, illuminated softly to reveal his penetrating eyes and the subtle house of his short hair, while the dark surroundings frame him tightly, enhancing the imposing presence. The use of deep reds and blues contrasted against muted, shadowy tones helps convey not only the grandeur but also the somber dignity of his role, likely as a military leader in a period marked by conflict. This work's historical significance is palpable—reflecting both the honor and weight of leadership during early 19th-century Europe, rendered through masterful brushwork typical of the era’s grand portraiture.
