Princess Elizabeth, Second Daughter of Charles I is a 1655 ink by Robert Gaywood, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a woman with curly hair and a pearl necklace, looking calm and serious. Above her head is a small cherub holding a wreath of leaves. The border is filled with swirling flowers and scrollwork, and there’s a poem written at the bottom. The image is made using a technique that creates fine lines and shading. The artist used a needle to scratch into a metal plate, then ink filled those lines. Next, check out etching to see how this kind of printmaking works.
