This is a round portrait of a woman with pale skin and curly red-gold hair. She’s wearing a black dress with a high lace collar and a black necklace. Her hands are clasped in front of her, and she’s standing against a dark background with a hint of blue. The painting looks old, with a wooden frame that’s faded and worn. The details in her lace collar and dress are tiny but sharp, showing the artist’s skill. If you like this style, check out Nicholas Hilliard.
