Lady Jane Gray

Esme de Boulonois

National Gallery of Art

An engraved portrait of a person is shown from the bust up. The figure faces slightly to the left with facial features delicately rendered, including prominent eyes and smooth contours. Their hair is styled neatly and covered with an elaborate headdress adorned with jewels or decorative elements. The person wears intricately patterned clothing with a high neckline, ornate sleeves, and a necklace with a large pendant. In the background, a draped curtain and a partial view of a landscape add depth to the image. The portrait is encased in an ornamental oval frame.
