Somewhere in the late 16th century

Months I decided to make some paper mache props in order to use them in self portraiture, a mix between different historical times and nowadays. This one is the first of, what I hope, many. Going with the flow, within the props I built, this picture seems to speak of some noble presenting us his somewhat wealth standing upon a richly decorated wall from a warm atmosphere within the famous Portuguese's discoveries time. Maybe a colonial - south america - gentleman striving to achieve purity in the New World. Or is he inviting us to sin? You decide ;)
