National Gallery of Art

The image features an engraving of the upper portion of a woman's body. The woman is facing forward with her body slightly turned to the right, and her gaze is towards the viewer. She has an oval face with finely arched eyebrows, a straight nose, and a small, closed mouth. Her hair is styled in an elaborate way, pulled back and adorned with a decorative band or crown. She wears a richly decorated garment with a high lace collar, intricate patterns, and a large bow or sash on her right shoulder. Around her neck, she wears multiple strands of a necklace. The background is designed as an oval frame with an inscription and decorative elements resembling fabric. Below the oval frame, there is a block of Latin text.
