Isabelle Claire Eugénie

Balthasar Moncornet

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman's half-body portrait. She is standing with her body facing forward and her face slightly turned towards the viewer. Her facial features are defined, with prominent eyes and a straight mouth. She has a serious expression and her hair is covered by a hood. The woman is dressed in a religious habit, which includes a veil and a robe, with a visible cincture or rope belt around her waist. She is holding a rosary with one hand, and her other hand rests on a book. The background shows an outdoor setting with trees, and a glimpse of architecture resembling a grand building or palace in the distance. The portrait is set within an ornate oval frame, and there are decorative elements and text beneath the image.
