In this artwork, how is the Description discussed?
An armor-clad man is shown in full-length view, with his left hand on the hilt of his sword and his right resting on a table covered in red velvet. He is further adorned with an elaborate white ruff and cuffs, as well as a green sash draped over his left shoulder. The insignia on his breastplate may indicate membership in the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus, an organization sworn to defend the papacy, even in battle. A papal banner hangs behind the figure, a symbol of his processional role. The coat of arms on the table cover has yet to be identified. It is signed and dated on the reverse, but scholars are not in agreement on the authenticity of the inscription. The painting was restored in 1964 and is noted as being in excellent condition.
