Prince Philip Prosper is depicted in a pose that suggests both formality and vulnerability. His right hand rests on a table, while his left hand holds a small sword, symbolizing his future role as a warrior and protector. The elaborate lace collar and sash around his waist speak to his royal lineage and the wealth of the Spanish court.
