Lady Jane Gray

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with a serious expression. She wears a fancy hat with a wide brim and a necklace with a pendant. The background is plain, focusing all attention on her face and the intricate details of her clothes. The name at the bottom reads *"Lana Graya"*—likely a misspelling of Lady Jane Gray. This was a common way to honor important figures in art. Look up engraving to see how artists like Boulonois created sharp, detailed images using only a needle and metal plates.
