Leticia Morison, Viscountess Falkland

William Marshall

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an engraved portrait of a woman. She is facing forward but slightly turned to her left. She has large, wide eyes, a somber expression, and her hair is mostly covered by a dark headdress. She wears a modest neckline garment, holds a closed fan or object in her right hand close to her chest. The setting includes an elaborate border with leaf-like patterns. Below the portrait, there are ornate decorations, such as a skull, an "In Domino Quies" inscription on a cartouche, cherub-like figures holding drapery, and a scene showing a ship at sea. The background features delicate lines and shading typical of historical engravings.
