Ralph or Rudolph Corbie, Society of Jesus

Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image is a bust portrait of a man. The man is positioned facing slightly to his left, with his head turned towards the viewer. He has distinct facial features, with closely set eyes, a pronounced nose, and a slight smile on his lips. His hair is dark, curly, and composed around his head with a center part. He is wearing a dark garment with a high collar that partially obscures his neck, and a rope or cord is visible on the clothing near his shoulder. The background is plain, with a parchment-like texture and text surrounding the portrait. Words appear in an arc above his head.
