Pieter de Bailliu after Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman in a detailed engraving. She is portrayed from the waist upwards, with her body slightly turned to the left and her head facing forward. The woman has a serene expression with large eyes, a small mouth, and a curved nose. Her hair is styled in curls with floral decorations, falling to her shoulders. She wears a textured gown with ruffled sleeves and lace edges. The woman rests her right arm on a surface and her left hand is near her chest. A pearl necklace adorns her neck. The background shows an architectural element and a view of mountainous terrain under a cloudy sky.
