Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman from the chest up, facing forward. She has a rounded face, small mouth, and large eyes, with hair styled back. She wears an ornate dress with a wide lace collar, layered textures, a brooch, and earrings. The background is plain with an oval frame featuring decorative scrolls and a coat of arms at the bottom. The style is reminiscent of an engraving or etching, giving the portrait a historical appearance.
