Elizabeth, Queen of England is a 1592 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a woman dressed in fancy 16th-century clothes. She wears a big ruff collar and a crown, holding a globe in one hand and a scepter in the other. Her face is serious, and the background is plain, focusing all attention on her. The text around the image is in Latin, and there’s a coat of arms on the right side. The artist signed it in the bottom corners. Next, check out engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
