The Sienese Fop

Looking at this young man, the colors he wears are the most striking at first. He wears a red doublet with a green-and-cream-colored cioppa atop it, with the left cioppa sleeve slung back fashionably over his shoulder to show off the cioppa's steel-blue lining. Matching steel-blue edging, wide at the bottom and more narrow at the v-shaped neck, shows at the top and bottom of the cioppa, and it's clear from the left sleeve that the angel-wing sleeves are also edged in a thick band of the stuff. He wears a dapper hat that looks almost tricorner, with a white turned-up brim and a brown or black crown. Notice that he also wears a white camicia beneath the red farsetto/doublet. His boots are fun indeed--partecolored red and white, with the red on the inside calves and white on the outside. The tops of the boots are jagged-edged. His hair's reddish and curly, about nape-length. The brown thing on the collar is, upon very close inspection with a magnifying glass, a ferret on a leash! It wears a studded collar and rests on his right shoulder, wrapping its tail around his neck to rest on his left shoulder.
