Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia

Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraved portrait of a woman. She is positioned facing slightly to her left, looking directly at the viewer. The woman has a delicate face with pronounced features such as her eyes, nose, and a gentle expression. Her curly hair falls to her shoulders and is adorned with a headpiece. She is dressed in an elaborate gown with lace and embroidery details, accentuated by a high, ornate collar. Around her neck, she wears a pearl necklace and there is a jeweled decorative piece pinned to her garment, which appears to include pearls. The background is a detailed oval framing her image, and surrounding the frame are words in an elegant script.
