The small fortress in the background appears to resemble the one depicted in the scene with the lions supporting the coat of arms. Notably, the collar lacks the characteristic "S" accompanied by arrows. A charming detail is the small bird gazing at the dog with an almost admiring expression. Both the sword and the lance are rendered with considerable precision. The absence of the crescents, however, remains puzzling.
No musical work linked.
