Pierre Lombard (1613–1682), Portrait of Paul Petau, after Jacques Questel (Jacob Ketel 17th ce.)

London, British Museum, inv. no. R, 7.3

An oval frame contains a bust-length portrait of Paul Petau, turned to the right, in magistrate robe. Petau has the characteristic physiognomy: gaunt face, prominent cheekbones, wavy hair, slightly receding hairline, long full beard, and mustache. The frame with the motto NON NISI PRISCA PETO ET VETERI MENS VIVERE MORE, which is taken from the frontispiece of the Portiuncula – interspersed with an abraxas fills the plate at the side and upper margins and rests on a sort of baluster where two coins represented on either side rest. They replace those known from the other portraits and take up two coins found instead on the frontispece of the volume Gnorisma: the one with Mars Ultor and Signa and another of Galba with the Tres Galliae.
A coat of arms surmounts the base of the frame, the balustrade and its front.
The coat of arms is divided into four fields – in 1 and 4 eagle and three roses; in 2 and 3 Templar cross (cross pattée) – and is surmounted by a feathered helmet. On either side of the coat of arms are the signatures of the draughtsman and engraver respectively:
J. Questel Pinx. (left) and P. Lombart Sculp.(right).

A kind of label (cartellino) pinned to the base reads:
Paul Petauius in Suprema / Francorum Curia Consiliarius

So far this version of the portrait is known only in loose plates.
