Mary of Guise is a 1836 ink by Henry Shaw, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman. She wears a fancy dress with big ruffles and lots of jewelry. Her hair is up, and she looks calm. Behind her, a tree and a distant building are faintly drawn. The artist used lines to create shadows and details. This style is called cross-hatching. Look up engraving to see how artists make prints like this.
