ArtistA scene from a swashbuckler film: Inigo, a middle-aged Spaniard—around thirty—a swordsman with a large, richly decorated magical longsword in his right hand, stands face to face, eye in eye before Count Rugen, a nobleman of about fifty-five who possesses the unusual feature of having six fingers on each hand. The Count holds a simpler sword in his six fingered right hand. Inigo wears a simple black robe and is slender and wiry, his narrow, alert face with a fierce view is framed by long black curls. Inigos face is ornated by two scars: one each cheek from top down. The Count wears a sumptuous robe with ruffles and a white wig. Fear is etched on his face. The scene is bathed in an eerie light and takes place in a large hall with heavy wooden doors, red curtains on the walls, candelabras, and a stone floor.
A high-quality, detailed oil painting depicts a dramatic confrontation between two men in a richly decorated interior, reminiscent of a historical setting. On the left, a man with long, wavy dark hair and a dark, short beard and mustache holds a large, ornate sword with a golden hilt. He wears a black, knee-length coat over a white, unbuttoned shirt. His body is angled slightly, and his right hand firmly grips the sword, pointing its tip towards the other man. His face, illuminated, shows intensity, with a small red mark or scar visible on his cheek and forehead.
Facing him on the right is an older man with a curly, white powdered wig that cascades over his shoulders. He has an aging face with a short beard and mustache, and a similar red mark on his cheek. He wears a dark, long, possibly velvet coat or cloak over a brown, embroidered waistcoat, and a white, ruffled jabot at his neck. His right hand is raised, palm outward, in a gesture of defense or appeasement, while his left hand is also extended, fingers slightly bent. The sword blade lies horizontally between them, nearly touching the older man's raised palm.
