This black-and-white print shows a woman in fancy clothes, holding a small cup. She wears a crown on her head and a veil draped over her shoulders. The fabric looks heavy and detailed, with ruffles at her neck and wrists. The artist used lines to show light and shadow, making the cloth look almost three-dimensional. The text at the bottom names her as "Mary, Queen of Scotland." Look up etching to see how artists like this one create prints like this.
