Not in our experience.  In cataloguing an etching collection, we had
"$edepicted" on subject headings for people, buildings, places, etc.

This relationship differs from "about" which is understood as opposed
to having a MARC relator code, or an RDA relator term.

The authority for the person/thing/whatever must exclude role, with
role being another element.  The same person may for three or more
roles in relation to a resource, e.g., the writer/director/actor of/in
film.
