Heinrich Aldegrever

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a female figure standing in profile with her head turned slightly. She has soft facial features, long hair, and is wearing a beaded necklace. In one hand, she holds a circular object resembling a mirror, while the other holds onto a large piece of fabric. In the background, there is a detailed ship with sails, fortress-like structures, and two smaller figures with a large wheel beside them.
