Captions available
The idea
On the way downstairs the Duke points out a bronze of Neptune taming a sea-horse, cast for him by Claus of Innsbruck. The anchor reads this as a symbol of the control the Duke intends to exert on his new bride, and says he has an ulterior motive in showing it.
In practice
Neptune taming a sea-horse.
Where people slip
The anchor calls this a deliberate signal.
