About this work

This engraving shows a woman's face, framed by a circular border. The border is divided into two parts: the inner part features the woman's portrait, while the outer part contains text that is difficult to decipher. The woman is depicted wearing a dress adorned with lace and a necklace. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she wears earrings. The engraving technique used to create this image is characterized by fine lines and cross-hatching, which adds depth and texture to the portrait. The level of detail in this engraving suggests a high degree of skill on the part of the artist.
