Marchioness of Baden is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a woman’s face and shoulders. She wears an ornate necklace with big loops and chains, and her hair is pulled back. The background is plain, but her collar is decorated with tiny patterns. The words around the oval frame call her a "Marchioness," and the text below is in Latin. The artist used lots of fine lines to create shadows and details. Look up *engraving* next to see how artists like this made prints.
