This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman standing sideways. She wears a long, striped skirt with a dark coat over a light collar. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a folded cloth in one hand. The background is plain, focusing all attention on her. The tiny writing at the top says *Ein Englishe vom Adel* (an English noblewoman) and the year 1644. The artist signed it as *Hollar fecit*, meaning "Hollar made it." Next, look up etching to see how this print was made.
