Princess Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia (?)

Style of Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a head-and-shoulders portrait of a person. The person is facing forward with a slight turn to the right, displaying finely detailed features and curly hair styled in an elaborate manner. The facial features include a serene expression with eyes that appear attentive and eyebrows that are delicately arched. Their attire is ornate, featuring a richly decorated garment with intricate patterns and a prominent lace collar or neck ruff that frames their face. Encircling the collar is a piece of jewelry, likely a necklace, which adds to the elaborate ensemble. The person appears to be set against a plain, textured background that highlights the detailed work on the attire.
