"Portrait of a Young Man, Probably Democritus, Three-Quarter Length, Wearing Red with a Plumed Hat, Holding a Globe" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch artist Jan van Bijlert. This work is an example of the Utrecht Caravaggism style, which is characterized by the use of strong chiaroscuro and dramatic lighting effects influenced by the Italian painter Caravaggio. The painting depicts a young man, who is thought to be the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus, known for his work on the atomic theory of the universe and his philosophy of cheerfulness.

In the portrait, the subject is dressed in a vibrant red garment, which contrasts with the dark background, drawing the viewer's attention to his contemplative expression. The plumed hat adds a touch of elegance and suggests a sense of nobility or scholarly status. The globe the young man holds is symbolic of his philosophical contemplation and understanding of the world. The three-quarter length pose is typical of portraiture of the time, allowing the artist to capture both the physical likeness and the character of the sitter.

Jan van Bijlert (1597/98–1671) was an influential Dutch painter who was part of the Utrecht school.

The painting is notable for its fine detail, the rich texture of the fabrics, and the lifelike representation of the subject. It is a significant example of Dutch Golden Age painting and contributes to our understanding of the period's artistic achievements and philosophical interests. The exact date of the painting's creation is not known, but it is generally attributed to van Bijlert's mature period, when he had fully developed his distinctive style.
