Painted with breathtaking realism, the almost life-size scale and the high finish of the brushwork enhance the picture's photographic quality. As the light plays across the silks of his cape, the gold and brass of his armor and the chain mail of his gloves, it also catches the white of his eyes and illuminates the blues and pinks beneath his richly dark skin.
