This print shows a woman with dark hair and a calm face. She wears a simple dress with a patterned belt and a fur shawl draped over her shoulders. A wreath sits lightly on her head, and her hands rest gently on the fur. The text below her name hints at a story—*"Raphaello’s Mistress"*—but the print itself looks more like a polished portrait than a dramatic scene. The soft shading on her face and neck gives it a three-dimensional feel. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
