This painting shows a man in a long red robe with green accents, standing in front of a table with a crown on it. The man has a bald head and is looking straight ahead. The man's robe has a large green sash with a floral pattern, and he is wearing a white shirt underneath. The table behind him is covered with a green cloth, and the crown is gold with red jewels. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the textures of the clothing and the crown. If you want to learn more about the artist's technique, look up "glazing".
