Isabella Clara Eugenie as a Nun

Lucas Emil Vorsterman after Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraving of a person depicted from the waist up, seated in a frontal position. The person has a solemn expression, with a rounded face and small, closed lips. Their hair is covered by a dark veil. They are dressed in a formal, loose-fitting robe or habit with a lighter garment underneath that ties at the neck. The person's hands are clasped together, holding the edge of their dark veil. The background is filled with fine lines suggesting a textured backdrop, and there is a caption on the lower part of the image identifying the person as Serenissima D. Isabella Clara Eugenia.
