Angelo is dressed in a black suit with a white shirt, tie and waistcoat. His hair is slicked back and he rests his arms on a big table. On the table we see a golden cross and a variety of books, he stares out towards the front. Behind him is a big mirror reflecting different white lights. He is surrounded by darkness.
