About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with curly hair and a fancy collar. She holds a flower in one hand and rests the other on her chest. The background is plain, but her clothes have detailed ruffles and beads. The words around her say things like "Princess Maria" and "Daughter of Emanuel." This was made as a printed image, not painted by hand. Next, check out engraving to see how artists used lines to create depth.
