Jeannes de Cocesme, First Wife of Francois, Prince of Conti is a 1590 ink by Thomas de Leu, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman. She wears a high collar with ruffles around her neck. A long string of round beads hangs down her chest. The background is plain, but her face is framed by a circle with text around it. The text is in French and looks fancy. The artist signed it in the corner. This style was used in the Renaissance. Look up engraving to see how artists made prints like this.
Thomas de Leu or Leeuw or Le Leup or Deleu (1560–1612) was a French engraver, publisher, and print dealer of Flemish origin.
