Johann Adam Renner of Allmendingen

Raphael Custos

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a man depicted from the waist up. He is facing forward in a seated position, with his gaze directed slightly off to the side. The man has a round face with a prominent nose, a short beard, and a mustache. His hair is covered by a cap, snugly fitting over his head. He is dressed in traditional clerical clothing with a high, white collar and a dark, intricately designed garment with visible buttons. In front of him is a large coat of arms protected by a bishop's mitre, featuring detailed heraldic symbols. The background is an ornate, engraved frame with Latin text surrounding the portrait, and decorative elements including cherubs, swirls, and classical figures.
