This engraving shows a woman in fancy 17th-century clothes, with a high collar and ruff. Two winged figures hold up a crest above her head, with words like "Compassion" and "Pride" on scrolls. Her face is calm, and the background is dark with lots of carved details. The words around her praise qualities like wisdom and honor. The artist signed it at the bottom, and the whole thing looks like it was made to celebrate her. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists carved these detailed prints.
