Jean Waldor

National Gallery of Art

The image is a framed engraving showing a bust of a man in three-quarter view. His face has distinguished facial features, such as deep-set eyes with heavy eyelids, a prominent nose, and a well-defined mouth. He has a neatly trimmed beard and short hair mostly covered by a distinctive cap. The cap is tall, rounded, and slightly pleated, indicating a clerical or religious attire. He is wearing a simple, dark robe with a high collar. The background is plain with vertical lines. To the upper left, there is an emblem with "IHS," a cross, and three nails surrounded by radiant lines. Below the image, there is an inscription displaying the name "P. Robertus Personius Socivs et Svperior."
