About this work

This is a black-and-white engraving of a woman in a high-necked dress with ruffled sleeves. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she wears a necklace with a brooch. The background is plain, but the edges of the image have swirling decorative lines. The name "Johanna Graia Anghae Regina Coronata" is written below her, which might be a title or description. The style looks old-fashioned, with careful shading to show her clothing and face. This is an example of engraving.
