Elizabeth Talbot, Countess of Kent, Authoress is a 1656 ink by John Chantry, a Baroque work, held at Rosenwald Collection.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with curly hair and a high collar. She’s framed by a decorative oval border with swirls and leaves around her head. The lines are sharp, and the shading shows her face and clothes in detail. The name below reads *"ELIZABETH Late Countess of Kent."* That means she was a noblewoman, and the word *"Authoress"* suggests she wrote something too.
