seen from a low angle tilted slightly off level, a tall slender young man stands in the vaulted heart of a royal palace, the camera near hip height so the marble columns and the pleated gold-trimmed shafts of the great hall rise and converge above his head — he holds a three-quarter stance with his weight rooted on his left leg, right heel lifted and turned out, torso angled toward the far end of the hall; both hands are clasped behind the small of his back, the knuckles of one thumb pressing the back of the other wrist; his chin is lifted and his face is in three-quarter profile, the jaw long and clean, one high cheekbone catching the light, the mouth closed at rest and one corner drawn a half-millimetre upward; his eyes, cold and blue, are turned away from the lens toward a lit doorway off the right edge of the frame, not blinking; the straight blond hair falls just past the jawline and lies lifted and settled in strands across the brow, and the high stiff fan of white lace at his throat flares upward from his collar in the draught; he wears a royal navy doublet of cut velvet whose nap shifts from near-black to a lit blue as the shoulders curve away, gold cord embroidery scrolling the chest and gold frogging buttoning the front, the fitted cream trousers tapering into polished dark leather boots with gold-tipped toes; behind him a marble balustrade and a deep green-gold canopy are rendered slightly soft, the nearest column marbled with real grain in hard focus at the left of the frame; the light comes from two tall windows off-frame right and from candelabra flames nearer the ceiling, warm low-toned amber striking the right side of his face and the lace, the left side of him sitting in cool shadowed blue with the gold embroidery only a dull gleam, and a long soft shadow cast across the marble floor away from the window; the palette is restricted to deep royal blue, warm gold, cream and the pale gold of his hair; the velvet's nap and the lace's openwork are the only textures given the detail budget, everything else simplified; proud and still.
