About this work

A seated man in a dark draped tunic rests his head on his hand, wearing a laurel wreath and chains on his wrist and ankle, surrounded by luxurious red and gold cushions. A Latin inscription on the wall reads Potior mihi periculosa libertas quam secura et aurea servitus, and a chain hangs from above while laurel wreaths hang on a rack.
