The painting on canvas accurately depicts the face and expression, rich in chiaroscuro, typical of Flemish painting of a young boy, with neutral and rather dark tones in which an amber gemstone stands out on the brim of the hat, and a white ruff collar with a splendid trompe l'oeil movement that perfectly balances the whole. The intense gaze captures and intrigues the viewer who observes it.
