Can’t stop staring at the frame. “Is that a cudgel, or are you just glad to see me?”

Armfelt is posed as Hercules,the personification of strength,courage and endurance.Hercules is usually depicted with a club and wearing the skin of the Nemean Lion which made him invulnerable.Must read up on Armfelt.

I really like that painting, in these days we would say that he looks pretty feminine, but I can’t see why that should be a problem for people.
