标题《青年画像》的画描绘的是 Ulrike Meinhof，她在成为德国恐怖组织红军派的支持者之前，是一名有政治倾向的年轻记者。画的构成让人联想到名人肖像照，而在深色布景前打光的感觉也类似16至18世纪欧洲绘画大师的作品。里希特特有的微模糊技法加强了画中人物给人的年轻与温柔印象。
这幅画是描绘红军派活动与败亡的《1977年10月18日》系列的一部分，与该系列的其他作品一样，《青年画像》也是根据里希特挑选的一张相片创作而成的。虽然该画在作品全目录中并非该系列画作的第一张，但因为画的是红军派年表中发生最早的事件，因此经常被用来作为该系列的序幕图像。原始照片可能是因《Bambule》影片的拍摄而照的，这部关于年轻女性抗议者的影片由 Meinhof 拍摄。该影片原先已经预定好电视播放时间，但后来由于 Meinhof 牵扯到 Andreas Baader 从柏林泰格 (Berlin-Tegel) 的监狱暴力越狱脱逃事件，因此播放遭到取消。这次越狱事件通常被认为是红军派组织的开端，因此拍摄该照片时，Meinhof 的激进化历程才刚刚开始萌芽。
里希特创作这幅画时对原始照片做了一些修改，除了利用模糊化处理让画面变的柔和之外，他也让当时已经35岁的 Meinhof 显得比实际年轻许多，比较像个孩子。和相片相比，里希特画中的她目光比较游移，面部特征不像相片那么动态，表情散发出一种近似忧郁的深思。画的标题则点明了里希特的意图：这幅画将 Meinhof 描绘为一名涉世未深、充满信任的年轻女子。
《青年画像》为该系列的其他很多着重于恐怖分子之死的作品提供了鲜明的对照，也因此特别引人深思，让人想了解她在拍了这张照片之后，一直到她死后被拍照 (《死者》[CR: 667/1-3]的原始照片)留证之间，究竟发生过哪些事，让她有如此的改变。
