Anne of Denmark is a 1598 ink by Cornelis Boel, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a woman dressed in fancy 1600s clothes. She wears a high collar, a ruff around her neck, and a long dress with detailed patterns. Her hair is up, and she has pearls and flowers in her hair and on her dress. The background looks like curtains or a tapestry with swirling designs. The artist used tiny lines to create shadows and texture, making the fabric look real. This is called cross-hatching. Next, look up technique: cross-hatching to see how it works.
