About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a young woman with curly hair and a serious expression. She wears a high-necked dress with detailed lace cuffs and a pearl necklace. The background is plain, but the border around her is filled with crisscrossed lines that create shading. The text below her name calls out Crispyn van den Queboorn as the engraver who made this print. The style of the lines and shading suggests careful craftsmanship. Look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints from metal plates.
