Pride

Jacob Matham after Hendrik Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body view of a woman standing in a graceful pose. She is holding a hand-held fan with feathers. Her head is slightly tilted to the right, looking down at the fan. She has a calm expression, finely drawn eyes, and elaborate wavy hair piled up on top of her head. She is wearing classical robes with intricate folds and an ornate collar, along with a string of pearls around her neck and a bracelet on her wrist. Two small crests with different motifs are in the corners. The background has a textured pattern, possibly representing a wall or drapery.
