Anne of Austria, Queen of France and Navarre is a 1660 ink by Robert Nanteuil, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with curly hair and a pearl necklace. She wears a high collar with ruffles and bows, looking straight ahead. Below her, a shield shows a crown and a fleur-de-lis symbol. The border has Latin words and decorative lines, framing her face like a medal. This is an engraving, which means it was etched into metal and printed. Next, check out engraving to see how artists carved these detailed lines.
