Diana

Bartholomäus Ignaz Weiss

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of the upper body of a person in a slight profile view. The person is positioned facing slightly downwards and to the left, with a gentle demeanor. Their facial features are delicately rendered, with soft lines portraying the nose, lips, and closed eyes. The person's hair is styled in a detailed manner, with curls framing the face and gathered at the back of the head. They are wearing a garment that drapes loosely over the shoulders, with etching lines indicating fabric folds. The background consists of textured hatchings. No jewelry or additional objects are visible in the image.
