The portraits of Don Medina's father and Elizabeth are both painted in a very expressionistic fashion using strong and sometimes heavy brushwork to achieve the desired appearance. European portraiture and indeed any subject matter done in the sixteenth century were painted with translucent layers of pigment to create the desired effect. The style of painting of these portraits and the wall paintings of figures in the dungeon are of styles developed centuries later than shown here.
