About this work

This is a black-and-white engraving of a woman in a large central frame. She wears a high collar, a ruffled shirt, and a dark dress with a fur trim. Around her, smaller scenes show people hunting wild animals—some on foot, some on horseback. The woman’s calm face stands out against the busy action scenes. The text below her name calls her "Lady Katherine Marchioness of Buckingham." Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this carved detailed images into metal plates.
