About this work

This is a black and white engraving of a woman. She's wearing an elaborate collar and a fancy dress with a cross around her neck. The engraving is surrounded by a circle with words written in it. The woman is looking straight at you with a neutral expression. She has a fancy hairstyle with a small crown on top. The circle around her has words written in a fancy font, but they're hard to read. If you want to learn more about this style of art, you could look up the Renaissance movement.
