A Greek sculpture in the background is a copy of the so-called Farnese Flora – we don't know whether the figure represents Flora or Pomona, both goddesses of fertility and fruitfulness – which had been discovered sometime before 1532 in Rome. Here, the sculpture’s pose is in reverse; it was probably known to the artist in an engraving. It proclaims the sitter as a man of taste and refinement who would know of new discoveries and developments in the understanding of the classical age.
