Many of the distortions of the face are those practised by Anthonis Mor. The far eye is out of perspective and too large, the shadow behind the nose is oddly dark and narrow, and the ear is not foreshortened enough, so it seems to stick out from his head.
Mor had many assistants – Joachim Beuckelaer at one time worked as his drapery painter – and the upper lashes of the sitter’s left eye catch the light in a way seen in the work of Sanchez Coello, one of his pupils.
