Queen Elizabeth

About this work

This is a black-and-white engraving of a woman’s face and shoulders. She wears a fancy collar with lace patterns and a heavy pearl necklace. Her hair is piled high with curls and jewels, and she holds a small cross in her hands. The text below her name calls her "Queen of England, France, and Ireland." This suggests she was important, but the image itself is just lines and shading. Next, look up engraving to see how artists create these detailed prints.
