This painting shows a profile portrait of a woman. She's looking straight ahead with a calm face. The artist used a lot of detail to make her look realistic. The woman in the portrait is Elizabeth Marius Kemper. What's interesting is that the artist made this portrait very small, only about 5.5 cm square. This small size makes you want to look closer to see all the details. You can learn more about this kind of artwork by looking into the technique of engraving.
