Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a woman from the waist up. She is facing forward with her head turned slightly to the left. Her facial features are sharp and defined, with a calm expression and high cheekbones. Her hair is styled in an elaborate upward manner, likely held in place in a voluminous form. She wears a dress with a large, ruffled collar that extends around her shoulders, and the outfit features intricate patterns and decorative elements on the sleeves. She accessorizes with a single strand of pearls around her neck and simple earrings. The background is plain with a frame of geometric patterns. At the top of the frame, text reads "LOISE DE LORRAINE ROYNE DE FRANCE," and there is French script at the bottom within the decorative border.
