The portrait of Ludwig Riveldstein was executed in a more classic style than the other works in the museum. Ilva noted the abundance of dark colors and a certain gloominess, which was apparently meant to be dispelled by the strikingly prominent image of the young count. One could not help but notice the skillfully rendered black armor, as if it were actually engraved on the thin canvas. Together with a blade with a long hilt, matching in style and resting in dark scabbards streaked with silver and adorned with a blue gemstone, it created a frightening and unusual image, which is why the count earned his famous nickname.
While looking at the portrait, Ilva unintentionally listened to the story of Ludwig's exploits during the civil war, but she had no doubt that Rutger's father had demonstrated no less heroism than all the famous bearers of that surname. As for the count's peaceful life, the girl was pleasantly impressed by the described image of the ruler of Myrkonia. Now it was clear why Ludwig's son also turned out to be a worthy person in life.
