Wife of Georg Pencz

After Georg Pencz

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a portrait of a person from the waist up. The individual has a stern facial expression, high cheekbones, a slightly furrowed brow, and deep-set eyes. Their hair is pulled back tightly and appears short or tucked under a covering. The person is wearing a garment with a high collar featuring ornate buttons or clasps and an overgarment draping over the shoulders. The background is a simple, textured pattern. There are horizontal lines encircling the portrait and some text inscribed at the top, with small initials or marks to the side.
