Maria of Burgundy, Empress and Wife of Maximilian I is a 1650 ink by Jonas Suyderhoff, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with a serious expression. She wears a fancy collar and a necklace with a cross pendant. Her hair is pulled back under a tall, decorated hat, and her shoulders are draped in a rich fabric. The frame is packed with detailed carvings—leaves, flowers, and swirls—like a crown around her head. The bottom has a long Latin title, probably naming her. This is an etching, so the artist used sharp tools to carve lines into metal. Look up etching to see how it works.
