"A Young Ensign" (c. 1742) is an oil painting by the Venetian artist Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, known for his mastery in rendering light and shadow to create dramatic intensity in his works. This painting is a fine example of Piazzetta's skill in portraiture, showcasing a young military officer, or ensign, depicted with a sense of immediacy and psychological depth that is characteristic of the artist's best work.

The subject of the painting is shown half-length, wearing a military uniform that reflects his rank and the fashion of the period. His attire typically includes a justacorps, a waistcoat, and a tricorne hat, which were common elements of an ensign's uniform in the 18th century. The ensign's gaze is often described as engaging, as he looks directly out of the canvas, suggesting a moment of interaction with the viewer.

Piazzetta's use of chiaroscuro—a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark—enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure and imbues the portrait with a sense of drama. The background is usually subdued, allowing the viewer to focus on the ensign's face and the intricate details of his uniform.

The painting is considered an important work within Piazzetta's oeuvre, illustrating his contribution to the Rococo movement and his influence on the development of 18th-century Venetian portraiture. "A Young Ensign" is often praised for its technical excellence and its ability to convey the personality and status of its subject with subtlety and power.
