Young Man at Prayer 1475

Hans Memling's "Young Man at Prayer" (c. 1475) is a Northern Renaissance portrait depicting a young man in prayer. His hands are clasped together, resting on an open book, which symbolizes his piety. The painting is notable for its realism and attention to detail, particularly the meticulously rendered features of the young man's face, his fine clothing, and the richly decorated book. The painting is currently located in the National Gallery in London.
