He looks like a peasant to me, Written by Mandy N (8/24/2004 8:41 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, I thought Medici, penned by Carolyn

...especially with that unkingly cap!

I'm reminded of an illustration of Henry VIII's jester, Will Somers. (Henry also appears in the pic)
Somers has no cap but wears a green jerkin opened at the neck, similar to the above portrait.

Perhaps Cassandra's portrait presents Henry VIII as a buffoon combined with a cruel, Machivellian streak.

I realize I could easily be wrong on this!
