Magdalena de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper body of a woman facing forward. She has prominent eyes, a small nose, and a closed mouth. Her round face is framed by shoulder-length wavy hair. She wears a detailed garment with a high lace collar and a dress with intricate patterns and ruffles. The woman holds a large feathered fan in her right hand. The background has a finely hatched texture, and text at the bottom identifies her as "Lady Katherin Marchioness of Buckingham."
