Catherine of Braganza

Robert Gaywood

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraved portrait showing a bust view of a young woman. She has a rounded face, large eyes, a small mouth, and a gentle expression, with a centered fringe and long, voluminous curls falling over her shoulders. Her hair is adorned with a decorative ribbon on the side. She is wearing a dark dress with a wide, intricately patterned lace collar that extends to her shoulders. In the background, there is an ornate draped curtain, and partially visible behind her left shoulder, there is an embellished crown. The engraving is encased in an oval frame.
