This engraving by Girolamo (II) Rossi, dated 1692-1762, depicts Paolo Segneri, a missionary and writer. The portrait is presented in an oval frame, which was a popular style in the 17th and 18th centuries, and is surrounded by a decorative border. The inscription below the image identifies the subject as Wolfgang Hannibal, a cardinal from the Holy Roman Empire. The artwork is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of Italian engravers during this period, demonstrating detailed rendering of both the subject's features and the surrounding decorative elements.
