Anne Boleyn

Renold Elstrack

National Gallery of Art

The engraving depicts a woman's upper body, from her waist to just above her head. She is facing slightly to the left, with detailed facial features including pronounced cheekbones, a straight nose, and slightly upturned lips. She has intricately styled hair under a pearl-adorned headpiece. She wears richly decorated clothing with detailed patterns, puffed sleeves, and a square neckline with embroidery. Adorned with a necklace and a cross, she also wears bracelets on her wrists. Her hands are positioned gracefully, with one lightly touching the cross. The background features ornate swirls and an oval frame. Latin text is above the frame, while English text below describes the subject of the engraving.
