About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with a tall, fancy crown and a big, ruffled collar. Her face is calm, and she wears heavy jewelry—necklaces and earrings. The background is plain, so the focus stays on her. The text below her name calls her "Queen of England, France, and Ireland," which matches the title *Queen Elizabeth*. The artist signed it in 1625, making it an old print. Look up engraving to see how artists like this one carved detailed images into metal.
