About this work
Ignatius of Loyola as a man of middle age, balding with a short, dark beard. His head is surrounded by a halo, a few tears roll out of the right eye. His chasuble is richly embroidered. The right hand is raised, the left hand rests on his attribute: an open book with the inscription Ad majorem Dei Gloriam (To greater glory of God), the beginning words of the rule of the Jesuits. Top right, above a number of clouds, appear in a beam of light the letters IHS, the monogram of the order. Below the image is a text with the merits of the saints.
