His expertise and knowledge were highly valued, making him a sought-after figure in the courts of Europe. This portrait, held in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to Moncornet's artistic skill. The use of contrasting white and black tones adds depth and texture to the image, while the subject's direct gaze engages the viewer and invites contemplation. The engraving is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focused on the history of Christianity and the role of the church in European society during this period.
