About this work

This engraving depicts a woman sitting in a chair, wearing a lavish dress and a large hat adorned with pearls. Her right hand rests on the arm of the chair, while her left hand holds a cloth. The woman's attire is embellished with intricate patterns and pearls, and she wears a pearl necklace. A curtain is visible in the background. The engraving is highly detailed, with cross-hatching used to create shading and texture. The woman's facial features are delicate, and her expression is serene. The level of detail and craftsmanship in this engraving is characteristic of the Baroque movement.
