Portrait of Collector

Against a backdrop of the curtain that reflects delicate light, a man sitting on a chair is staring with dignified and graceful eyes at the front. As if illustrating this man’s exquisite tastes, the golden mechanical clock is placed by the window and the sculpture of David treading on Goliath’s head is next to him. Depicted beyond the open window is the Castel Sant’Angelo, which was built as the mausoleum of the emperors during the ancient Roman Empire and served as the fortress for the popes. It represents the connection of this man with the Vatican, and it is presumed that he is a Venetian diplomat who was staying the city.
