Platzer's skill is also evident here in his excellent mastery of artistic techniques. For example, he achieves a coloring through his special treatment of the copper painting ground, which, through the finest nuances and changeant, produces a surface similar to enamel and establishes Platzer's reputation as an unrivalled exponent of this field.

The artist obviously included a self-portrait in this courtly scene, his right arm stretched across his hip in a golden brocade coat with fur trim breeches and a red feather barett in the picture and signed the painting on the pedestal of the sculpted urn to the left.
