About this work

This engraving shows a woman with a round face and curly hair, wearing a ruffled collar and a patterned dress. She's looking straight at us with a neutral expression. The background is dark, with a lighter oval shape around her. The woman's dress has a lot of details, like flowers and leaves. Her collar is very fancy, with many folds and patterns. The overall style of the engraving is very detailed and realistic. If you like this kind of artwork, you might want to check out more examples of Romanticism.
