after Crispijn de Passe I after Isaac Oliver

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an upper-body depiction of a woman facing forward. She has a narrow face with high cheekbones, a pointed chin, and pursed lips. Her curly hair is styled with pearls and an ornate headpiece, merging into a roll-like pattern on her head. She wears a richly decorated garment, a large lace ruff, multiple strings of pearls as a necklace, and intricate earrings. The background is an oval frame with detailed engravings.
