This portrait depicts an unknown young man seated at a table on which he rests his helmet and baton of command. He wears armour over a loose, blousy white shirt with a lace collar, embellished with a red tie at his shoulder. Facing to the viewer’s right, he turns his head over his left shoulder. It is a pose that obviously appealed to Maratta – the turning of the head and body in opposite directions – as he used it in many other portraits, varying the direction of the gaze
