Duflos is portrayed in a moment of contemplative pause, glancing over his shoulder with an expression both regal and introspective. His costume, richly detailed with ornate patterns and deep contrasts between the shimmering gold and the deep blues and blacks, adds a layer of opulence and historical authenticity.The elegance of the actor's stance and the exquisite attention to the textural details of his costume speak to the character of King Henri III, whom Duflos was representing.
