 The Greek <unk> pattern at the foot of the wall is unusually close to the picture plane , <unk> the sitter . The wall is painted in gold , adding to the sense of a monumental portrait of a modern icon . The details of Bertin 's face are highly symmetrical . His eyes are heavily <unk> , <unk> by <unk> positioned twists of his white collar , the winds of his hair , eyebrows and eyelids . His mouth turns downwards at the left and upwards to the right . This dual expression is intended to show his <unk> and complex personality : he is a hard @-@ <unk> businessman , and a patron of the arts . The reflection of a window can be seen in the rim of Bertin 's chair . It is barely discernible , but adds spatial depth . The Portrait of Pope Leo X ( c . <unk> ) by Raphael , a source for the Bertin portrait , also features a window reflection of the <unk> on the pope 's chair .
