About the piece
Painted by the Italian master Gaetano Gandolfi in 1771, this striking oil study captures a young man in a moment of lively interaction. His warm ochre jacket and bold red cap are rendered with fluid, confident brushwork, while his reaching hand creates a sense of depth and theatrical immediacy characteristic of the period.
