Ernst Paar's works are in the Albertina, the Belvedere, and in numerous private collections. His loose brushwork and virtuoso coloring find harmony in this portrait, which shows a pensive young man oblivious to the early rays of sunlight illuminating his profile. Paar's skill as an illustrator is evident in his particular attention to the contrast of light and dark.
