I am sorry I forgot to send measurements last time, as near as I can tell the picture is 14 x 17.   I agree that it does not appear to be a priest.  
Thanks again,

Thank you for kindly answering my questions about the portrait.  I am pleased to find out it is a Gegoux.  I found it at a country auction in Chateaugay, New York about 25 years ago.  Chateaugay is a small town in the northern part of New York state.  Sadly that is all i can tell you about the picture, I am not even sure if it is a male or female in the picture.  
Thanks again
