The answer is: contrasting images.

Contrasting means differing strikingly or in opposition to.

In the first description, the man is portrayed as representing "both steel and velvet," which means that he is as hard and strong as an alloy of carbon and iron, and as soft as velvet at the same time. In the second writing, the man is depicted as being both intensely exceptional and incredibly modest, without the least feeling of superiority.
