How do you describe the physical appearance of Prince Prospero?I'm curious because in our short story in class, there's no description. I haven't watched the movie. Can you help me?

When considering Prospero's appearance, I consider this quote:
"for the prince was a bold and robust man"
This suggests to me a man of good physical condition. He rushes through the rooms of the house after the intruder comes, with dagger in hand. This also supports good physical condition.
I picture a man of average height, broad shouldered and straight backed.
