The outfit, which can be considered winter, suggests that the portrait was painted during the winter of 1514-1515 when Castiglione was in Rome, charged by the Duke of Urbino with an embassy to Pope Leo X. In dark clothes and a simple white shirt, with a serene look, Castiglione illustrates his code of conduct: a gentleman must wear sober colors and impeccable linen, behave with reserve, speak calmly and show his education by his modesty and irreproachable dress.
