He knew the arm was Álvaro's

Viu um braço que se estendia para a janela, e a mão que deixava no parapeito um objeto qualquer, mas tão pequeno que não se percebia a forma. Pela manga larga do gibão, ou antes pelo instinto, o italiano adivinhou que este braço pertencia a Álvaro; e compreendeu o que esta mão havia deitado na janela.

The setting

Loredano sees an arm reach to the window and a hand leave some tiny object on the sill; by the wide doublet sleeve — or by instinct — he knows it is Álvaro, and grasps what the hand has left.
