The background is dark, with a hint of red drapery behind him. A small, illegible text is visible on the wall to the right of the subject, accompanied by a coat of arms featuring a white shield with a red cross and a crown above it. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber and formal. To learn more about the artistic techniques used in this portrait, explore the concept of chiaroscuro.
