Oil painting. Classical Italian Baroque aesthetic, deep tenebrism, dramatic chiaroscuro. Dramatic low-angle close-up, viewed from beneath the edge of his reclining chair. A beautiful 25-year-old Venetian noble with dishevelled pale platinum hair and icy grey eyes lounges against crushed crimson velvet cushions. An ivory linen shirt covers his chest, its collar open at the throat; a crimson silk velvet cloak edged with antique gold lace slips heavily from one shoulder. The heat of the crowded candlelit hall remains on his skin: a fine sheen of perspiration along the temples and above the upper lip, faint warmth flushing the cheekbones and ears, and several damp strands clinging near his brow. A subtle pressure mark remains across the bridge of his nose where the mask had rested. The loosened linen collar is slightly crushed and humid against his throat, leaving a soft red line beneath the jaw. His lips are naturally moist and uneven, his skin showing pores, faint shaving shadow and small imperfections rather than polished porcelain smoothness.
A Venetian gold filigree pendant holds a deep ruby and a suspended pearl. His ringed hand has just lifted a black lacquered masquerade mask beside his temple. With his chin slightly raised, he looks directly down at the viewer through relaxed eyelids, a small, insolent smile lending unmistakable intent to his unwavering gaze. Concentrated golden light catches his eyes, cheekbones, lips, ruby and the crushed velvet beneath his shoulder. Master study oil glaze.
