Palaeographical comments

Does the forward sloping 30 degree angle of the initial "P" suggest the deponent copied the "P" of "Painter", which was probably previously written by the notary who drew up the deposition from oral testimony?

Is the bottom right hand "foot" of the initial "P" an attempt by the deponent to copy the downward curve of the "P" of Painter written by the notary, which cuts through the vertical line of the "P"?
