Christine of France

Balthasar Moncornet

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving of a woman's bust. The woman is depicted facing slightly to her left, with detailed facial features, including an oval face, prominent eyebrows, and a poised expression. Her hair is styled in voluminous curls framing her face. She wears an elaborate dress with a large collar and puffed sleeves indicative of the period's fashion. The attire appears richly textured. There is no visible jewelry or objects in her hands. The background is a simple oval frame. The text below identifies her as Christine de France, Duchesse de Savoye.
