This etching depicts a woman standing upright, facing the viewer. She wears a long, dark cloak over a dress with a white collar and a dark bodice. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands on a floor with a dark shadow behind her. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a sense of modesty and simplicity. The use of dark tones in the etching creates a somber mood. This portrait is reminiscent of the works of Hollar, Wenceslaus.
