In the artwork, the subject, Casimir, Margrave of Brandenburg, is depicted with dignified grace. Dressed in sumptuous furs, he exudes a sense of nobility and authority. The subject dons a distinguished red cap, set against a rich, deep blue background that accentuates his composed expression and stately presence. The detailed rendering of his facial features and attire highlights Cranach’s mastery in portraiture, particularly in capturing the character and status of his subjects.
