Augustin de Saint-Aubin

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an engraved portrait of a woman's upper body in a shoulder-length view. She is facing slightly to the left, with her head turned towards the front, showing her facial features. Her hair is styled in short, tight curls framing her face, and she wears a bonnet with a striped pattern and frilled edges. The bonnet has a ribbon tied under her chin. She is wearing a dress with a broad collar and pleated pattern. The background features a solid, textured pattern within an oval shape. She is not wearing any visible jewelry or holding any objects.
