Anne, Duchess of Albemarle

William Faithorne

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a woman from the chest up. She is positioned facing slightly to the side but looking directly at the viewer. Her facial features are detailed with expressive eyes, a prominent nose, and a subtle smile. Her hair is styled in loose curls that fall over her shoulders, partly covering her ears. She is wearing a dress with voluminous sleeves, adorned with intricate designs, and has a pearl necklace around her neck. The portrait is enclosed within an ornate circular frame that resembles a wreath tied with ribbons. The background features finely engraved lines that highlight the depth of the image. An inscription at the bottom reads, "Anne Duchesses of Allemarle."
