"Young Man with a Red Beret" is an oil painting by Dutch artist Jan Lievens, created in 1629. The painting showcases Lievens's mastery of chiaroscuro, with the sitter's face and hands illuminated in contrast to the darker background. The young man's expression and attire suggest a member of the Dutch aristocracy, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing likeness and detail. This portrait, now housed at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California, is a testament to Lievens's talents, which rivaled those of his contemporary, Rembrandt.
