About this work

This engraving shows a woman with a large ruffled collar and dark dress. The collar is white with frilly edges, and the dress has puffy sleeves with floral designs. The woman wears a long necklace and earrings, and her hair is styled up. The engraving is detailed, with cross-hatching used to create shading and texture. The woman's face is serene, and her eyes seem to gaze into the distance. The engraving is held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
