A glassmaker of decent renown!
[ID]
Two illustrations of Chartreuse Floriando- a rather tall man with an aquiline nose, green eyes, short slicked-back black hair and trimmed beard.
The first has him inside what seems to be a cathedral underwater, with stained glass windows blurred behind him- his frilly blouse floating around him, a thick black choker around his neck, and his reflection on the water's surface above him.
The second image shows four types of his work clothing- his glassmaker's attire with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a leather apron over a pale blue striped blouse- fastened at the collar with a green ribbon choker and a cameo brooch, thick leather gloves, a black corset, black culottes and sharp black leather shoes;
his electrician's attire, with a denim newsboy cap, chunky goggles, and denim coveralls with rolled-up pant legs, all worn over a green blouse with a black neck bow, long green rubber gloves, and the same sharp black leather shoes from earlier, one hand carrying a rusty toolbox;
his welder's attire consisting of a large welding mask, grimy white knitted gloves, a thick striped salmon pink blouse, overalls with the pant legs rolled up and thick, black, boxy, leather work boots;
and finally his formal meeting attire consisting of a black velvet tophat, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a bright green cravat fastened with a gold and emerald brooch, a black double-breasted long coat with a capelet attachment over the shoulders and two rows of golden buttons, sharp black leather shoes, a black cane with a silver handle, as well as an olive green suitcase with brass handles and fasteners.
