Queen Elizabeth is a 1625 ink by Crispyn van den Queboorn, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with a tall, fancy headdress. She wears layers of ruffled lace and pearl jewelry, including a wide necklace and earrings. The background is plain, but her clothing has intricate patterns carved into the lines. The text below her name calls her "Queen of England, France, and Ireland," and notes she died at age 70. This was made as a memorial after her death. Next, check out engraving to see how artists like this carved detailed images into metal.
