This is a black-and-white drawing of a woman. She wears a fancy collar and a big necklace. Her hair is curled and piled high, with a crown on top. The background has swirly patterns and words wrapped around her head. The text calls her "Serenissima Domina" and lists her titles. The artist used tiny lines to create shadows and details. Want to see how this kind of drawing was made? Look up engraving.
