1627
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Isabella Clara Eugenia, Infanta of Spain, wife of Archduke of Austria is a 1627 ink by Renold Elstrack, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a woman with a big, fancy hairstyle. She’s wearing a pearl necklace and a crown of leaves around her head. Sunbeams radiate from behind her, and there’s a small cross hanging on her chest. The words around her say things like *"Serenissima"* and *"Isabella Clara Eugenia,"* which likely means she was important. The artist used lots of tiny lines to create shadows and details.

Renold Elstrack (1570–1625) was an artist, born in London.
