Queen Elizabeth

Willem Kip

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a half-length engraving of a regal person sitting with their body slightly facing left and head turned towards the viewer, presenting a three-quarter profile. The person has distinct facial features, with prominent eyes, a straight nose, and partially closed lips, along with curly, light-colored hair adorned with a crown. They wear opulent attire with a large ruff around the neck and detailed embroidery on the sleeves and bodice. The individual holds a scepter and an ornate orb with a cross, along with a bracelet on the wrist. The background features a decorative archway with geometric and floral elements framing the figure.
