Lucia Harrington, Countess of Bedford is a 1621 ink by Simon van de Passe, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a woman in fancy 1600s clothes. She wears a high collar with lace and a dark, patterned dress. Her hair is curled and pinned up. Two small figures stand behind her, each holding a scroll with words like "Commodity" and "Nobility." The words around her praise things like wisdom and honor. The crown above her head looks important. The artist signed it at the bottom. Want to see more? Look up engraving to learn how prints like this were made.
