A complex philosophical work. The main image – the young man, depicted close-up. The prototype is probably a specific boy, but the image is interpreted as a symbol of youth. The background of the portrait diagonally crosses the blue river, to the right of which is the shore of life, with trees, eternal spring and friendship. Figures of teacher and student –represent the philosophy of continuity, as one of the fundamental in the Muslim world. The left Bank is the underworld, the Bank of death. Mausoleum, withered branch, dark color – symbolize the end of the road of life.
