John Forbes

Jacques Picart I or Jacques Picart II

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing from the waist up. The person is holding a wooden cross in their right hand, with their left hand raised to their chest. They have a serene facial expression with a prominent brow, a long beard, and short, cropped hair with a tonsure style. The individual is dressed in a simple robe with a hood, tied at the waist with a cord or rope that holds a string of beads ending with a cross. In the background, there are mountains and flowering plants adding to the serene atmosphere. The image is bordered by a descriptive text panel at the bottom.
