This print shows a portrait of Miss Wilson, also called Mary Anne. The artist, William Birch, made it as a print in the early 1800s. The Victoria and Albert Museum calls it a vignette print. That means the portrait fades softly at the edges instead of having a sharp border. If you like this style, look up portrait prints by William Birch.
