Anne of England is a 1604 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with a serious expression. She wears a high-collared dress covered in detailed embroidery, and a beaded necklace. Her hair is pulled back, and a decorative frame with text surrounds her head. The words around her say *"Anna Dug. Angliae Regina"*—Latin for "Anne, Queen of England." The bottom text is also in Latin, likely describing her. This is an engraving, which means the artist carved lines into a metal plate to create the image.
