This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with a large, fancy collar. Her hair is styled high with curls, and she wears a pearl at the center. The background is plain, but her hands hold a fan and a small object that looks like a key or lock. The text below her name calls her "Princess of Belgium." The artist used lots of tiny lines to create shadows and details, making the collar and hair look extra textured. If you like this style, check out engraving.
