Lady Jane Grey

Robert White

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraved portrait of a woman shown from the waist up. She is facing forward with her body slightly turned to her right. She has a composed expression with a slight smile, neatly styled hair, and a decorative headpiece adorned with pearls. She is wearing a high-collared dress with intricate embroidery, lace, jewel patterns, and a necklace. She holds a small, closed book in her right hand, and wears rings on her fingers. The background is an ornate oval frame with Latin script, ribbons, and a coat of arms. The overall aesthetic is formal and historical.
