on a portrait what does aetatis mean

[shaneystar2]

I think it means " A self portrait "

[fredpuli47]

It's Latin .It means 'of the age', that is that the sitter was of that many years of age when the portrait was painted. The number of years, is usually in Roman numerals (as you'd expect when 'aetatis' is Latin)
