 Pozzi is depicted standing informally "at home", dressed a voluminous full-length bright scarlet "robe de chambre", tied with a red cord at the waist with provocatively dangling tassel.His robe is reminiscent of a monastic habit, and recalls Renaissance portraits of Catholic popes and cardinals, but also resembles a woman's full-length tea gown.He is standing back on his left leg, with his head also turned to his left; his right foot is poking out from the hem of his rob, shod in a red slipper with white embroidery.
