The artist has evoked Hubert’s wealth and status through his elaborate clothing – his gold damask tunic is edged with fur, and slashed to reveal his red velvet sleeve beneath. The sky is made of gold leaf and would have shimmered in the light of the candles on the altar. The painting also has an imagined internal light source: careful shadows, for example beneath Hubert’s bent right leg, suggest a crisp daylight.
