"Portrait of a Young Man" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio, who was a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci and an accomplished painter in his own right. The artwork is believed to have been created around the late 15th to early 16th century, during the High Renaissance, a period known for its emphasis on harmony, balance, and the realistic portrayal of human figures.

The painting depicts a young man in three-quarter view against a dark, neutral background, which serves to highlight the subject's visage and attire. The subject's gaze is directed slightly off to the side, lending the portrait a contemplative and introspective quality. Boltraffio's mastery of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures, is evident in the subtle gradations of tone and the soft transitions between light and shadow on the young man's face.

The young man is dressed in the fashion of the Italian nobility of the time, with fine clothing that suggests a status of wealth or importance. The precise identity of the sitter is unknown, which is not uncommon for portraits of this era. Boltraffio's work is often noted for its delicate rendering of textures and fabrics, as well as the lifelike representation of skin and hair, which are all evident in this portrait.

"Portrait of a Young Man" is a significant work within Boltraffio's oeuvre and is often studied for its stylistic similarities to the works of Leonardo da Vinci, reflecting the influence of the master on his pupils. The painting is also an important example of the Lombard school of painting, which was known for its sophisticated use of color and light to achieve depth and realism.

The painting is held in various collections over time and has been exhibited in several prominent museums. Its current location may vary due to loans and exhibitions. As with many Renaissance artworks, "Portrait of a Young Man" has been the subject of scholarly research and art historical analysis, contributing to the understanding of Boltraffio's technique and the cultural context of the period in which it was created.
