Henrietta Maria

Style of Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

This image features a circular portrait of a person from the shoulders up, placed at the center of the composition. The individual is positioned forward, facing the viewer, with a calm expression on their face. Their facial features are finely detailed, with arched eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a delicate nose, and full lips. The hair is styled into a voluminous updo. They are adorned in clothing with a high, intricate lace collar, and perhaps a patterned fabric. The person wears a necklace and a single visible earring. Surrounding the portrait is a decorative circular frame with inscriptions. The background consists of the plain paper ground on which the portrait is printed, devoid of any other decorative element. Handwritten text is visible at the bottom of the image.
