Queen Elizabeth

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with a big, fancy collar ruff. She’s wearing a patterned dress with lots of tiny details. Her hair is curled under a crown, and she’s looking straight ahead with a calm face. The words around her say things like "Queen of England" and "Virgin Queen." The artist used lines to create shadows and texture, making the fabric look real. Look up engraving next to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
