About this work

This portrait shows a man with a long white beard and a hat. He is wearing a dark robe over a white shirt. The background is dark, and there are words around the oval frame. The man's face is serious, and he is looking straight ahead. The words around the frame are in Latin and English. They seem to be about the man's name and title.
