Queen Elizabeth

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman in fancy clothes. She wears a high collar with ruffles, a crown, and lots of necklaces. Her hair is styled up with curls, and she holds a scepter in her right hand. The background is a dark oval shape with a decorative border. The print has small text at the bottom and sides, including dates and a coat of arms. The artist’s name isn’t visible, but the style looks like it was made by pressing metal into paper. Try looking up engraving to see how this kind of print was made.
