About this work

This is an engraving of a woman in a dress with lace and ribbons. She wears a necklace and earrings, and holds a stick in her right hand. Her hair is long and curly, and she looks to her left. The background is a curtain, and there is a ribbon behind her head. The engraving is detailed, with many lines that show the texture of her dress and hair. This engraving is an example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and individualism. You can learn more about Romanticism by looking up the movement.
