Anne of Denmark

Attributed to Cornelis Boel

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman positioned slightly to the right, with her left arm bent at the elbow and resting on a draped surface. Her right hand holds what appears to be a book or paper. Her facial features are detailed, with high cheekbones, a slender nose, and a serene expression. Her hair is styled elaborately with a high bouffant style, incorporating a headpiece adorned with jewels. She wears an intricate dress adorned with a detailed pattern, puffed shoulders, and a large ruffled collar. Around her neck, she has a double-stranded pearl necklace and a pendant with a bow design. Her left wrist is adorned with a bracelet, and from her right elbow crook, she holds a large feather fan. The background features heavy drapery cascading down, framing the subject elegantly.
