Eva Fliegen is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a person wearing a dark, old-fashioned outfit with a high collar and a cap. They hold a small plant with two leaves in their left hand. The background is simple, with a curved top border and a frame around the person’s head. The words around the image are in Dutch, and the title at the top reads *"Eva Fliegen."* The lines of text look like a poem or inscription, wrapped around the edges. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists create detailed images this way.
