About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with curly hair and a pearl necklace. She’s framed by a decorative oval border filled with swirling patterns and tiny figures. Below her, a banner has Latin text. The border looks like it’s made of carved stone, with putti (cherub-like figures) climbing and playing. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and detail. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
