The portrait depicts a 19-year-old young man, who is still waiting for a successful state and military service. He is dressed in black armor, from which one can see a white shirt and a neckerchief, and presents himself as a secular, a bit cherished gentleman, an enviable groom, a welcome visitor to Peter’s sights.
His gaze is languid and absent-minded, a smile plays on thin lips. But behind the elegant shell there is a hidden energy and an eager interest in life.
