National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving of a woman's portrait. She is shown from the waist up, slightly facing to the right of the frame. Her facial features include defined eyebrows and full lips, and she has curly hair framing her face. She is wearing a detailed dress with puffed sleeves, a lace-edged collar, and a string of pearls around her neck. Her hand rests on her waist, displaying a bracelet. The background features an ornate frame with inscriptions, artistic tools like a palette and brushes, a naval scene within a smaller frame, and various books and scrolls on tables beneath her portrait.
