Lady Jane Grey is a 1620 ink by Willem de Passe, 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 with intricate patterns and a necklace of small circles. Her hair is pulled back under a decorative headpiece, and the background is plain. The name "Iana Graya" is written below her, along with some Latin text. This is actually a portrait of Lady Jane Grey, printed in 1620. Next, look up engraving to see how artists create detailed images like this using only lines.
