Cardinal Georges d'Armagnac, Ambassador to Venice and His Secretary G. Philandrier, Painting depicts the Cardinal Georges d'Armagnac, ambassador of France to Venice in 1536, to Rome in 1539 and his secretary G. Philandrier sitting at a desk, the cardinal holds an open letter in his hand while gazing beyond the viewer and his secretary hods a pen above paper waiting for instruction, likely a diplomatic correspondence. The cardinal is identified by his clerical regalia though the secretary appears to be in contemporary finery, wearing a chain necklace and rich colors.
