National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman visible from the waist up. She is seated, slightly turned to her left, with her right arm resting on a surface in front of her. She has an elaborate hairstyle, with her hair pulled back and adorned with a jeweled ornament. Her facial features are delicate, with an oval face and soft expression. She is wearing an intricately designed dress with lace and embellishments, featuring a high lace collar and puffed sleeves. A string of pearls is around her neck, and she has a bracelet on her left wrist. Her hands are elegantly positioned, with her left hand touching a small object or fan. The background is a textured, dark area typical of engraved portraits, and the image is surrounded by a decorative oval and text.
