Jeanne d'Albret, Queen of Navarre, Mother of Henry IV of France is a 1676 ink by Gerard de Lairesse, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is an engraving of a woman in a large, oval frame. She is wearing a hat and a dress with a high collar. The frame has words around it, but they are not in English. The woman is holding a rosary in her hands. She is looking straight ahead. The background is dark, which makes the woman stand out. This engraving is a great example of the Baroque style, which often featured detailed and realistic portraits. If you want to learn more about this style, you should check out the Baroque movement.
