1553
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Lady von Eckh (born Piencsenau) is a 1553 ink by Hanns Lautensack, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman in fancy clothes. She wears a high-collared dress with a chain across her chest, and her hair is pulled back under a small hat. Behind her, a curtain frames her like a window, and a shield with a cross sits on the wall. The artist used lines to show her rich fabrics and serious expression. The date "1553" is written at the bottom, and the word "ANNO" hints at her age. Next, check out the technique: etching, drypoint, aquatint.
