About this work

This portrait is of a woman with long, curly blonde hair, wearing a pink dress and a white veil. The image is framed by an oval border with a black outline. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, with loose strands framing her face. Her dress has a low neckline and puffy sleeves, and she is wearing a white lace veil that covers the back of her head and neck. The background of the image is a light blue-gray color. The portrait is a color stipple engraving, a technique that involves using small dots to create an image.
