National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving showing a portrait of a woman in an oval frame, displaying her head and upper chest. She has a composed expression, with delicate facial features and a lace-framed cap covering her hair. She is wearing an Elizabethan-style dress with an intricate lace collar around her neck and a pendant necklace. Above her portrait, an angel with wings is depicted resting its head on its hand, surrounded by architectural motifs and clouds with Latin text. The background features a pastoral landscape with trees and hills, visible on either side of the central architectural structure framing the portrait.
