Queen Elizabeth is a 1806 ink by Isaac Oliver, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman wearing a high, fancy collar with lace ruffles. She has a pearl necklace and a crown of leaves on her head. The background is plain, so all the focus is on her face and clothes. The name "Queen Elizabeth" is written below the image, and the print is signed by two people—one who drew it and one who engraved it. The lines are made by tiny scratches, giving it a textured look. Look up engraving to see how artists create detailed prints like this.
