1650
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Henrietta Maria is a 1650 ink by Dutch 17th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a small, round portrait inside a metal frame. The face is drawn with fine lines, showing a woman with curly hair and a necklace. The background is plain, and the words around the edge read *"HENRICETTA MARIA"* in capital letters. The image looks like it was made by pressing ink into a metal plate, a method called *engraving*. This kind of print was often used for portraits of important people. Next, look up how *engraving* works to see how artists created such detailed images.
This Dutch artist made small, sharp engravings and etchings—mostly portraits and sea battles—printed from metal plates.
