COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
In this drawing Arcimboldo portrays himself as a handsome man with even features, with a short, Spanish beard, a fine cap, elegant white lace collar and a patterned brocade shirt. It seems he has dedicated a lot of attention to his appearance, to underline his position as a noted court painter or even more to appear as an elegant member of the court of Emperor Rudolf II.
