The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the grandeur and opulence of Tudor-era attire. The Duke of Norfolk is depicted wearing an exquisite robe adorned with luxurious fur, possibly ermine, which symbolizes his high rank and nobility. His regal appearance is further enhanced by a majestic crown resting upon his head, signifying his affiliation with royalty. In one hand, he holds a sceptre, representing his authority and power within the kingdom.
