This engraving shows a woman in a lavish Renaissance-style dress, holding a scepter and an orb. She wears a ruffled collar and a crown, and her hair is pulled back. The woman stands in front of a window with decorative glass, and a table with a crown on it is to her left. The engraving is detailed, with intricate patterns on the woman's dress and the window. The artist used cross-hatching to create texture and depth. To learn more about the Renaissance art movement, explore the works of Sadeler II, Aegidius.
