Monsieur de Jobert appears as a Jesuit à robe courte, a well-fed, no-longer-young man whose serene expression is marked by a subtle smile. In Hélène’s presence, his attention settles into a peaceful look of delight at her beauty. His brief appearance is shaped by this careful contrast: religious meekness in his posture, and a vivid, worldly responsiveness in his gaze.
Description
Monsieur de Jobert is a well-fed man no longer young, with snow-white curly hair and brilliant black eyes. His cheeks are plump and blackish, his chin full and clean-shaven, and his pleasant mouth has a firm set beneath its subtle smile. He wears the short robe of a Jesuit à robe courte, sitting with white hands meekly folded on his knees. His peaceful, composed bearing has a polished softness that does not dull the intensity of his gaze.
