In this portrait Philip Dobromu, the Duke of Burgundy, is fifty years old. The personality of the duke is interesting in many ways.
So, it is known that during his lifetime he wished to be counted among the saints and therefore fasted three days a week-he ate nothing and drank only water. What did not stop him have twenty-seven illegitimate children.
