This image displays an engraved portrait of a woman from the waist up. She is shown in a three-quarter view facing left. The woman has delicate facial features, high cheekbones, and a composed expression. She wears an intricate headdress, a decorated hood or bonnet with a veil. She also wears a richly designed bodice with a high neckline and ornate patterns denoting high status. Around her neck, there is a pearl necklace with a small pendant. The portrait is enclosed in an oval frame with faint surrounding text. The background is plain, focusing on the figure, and there is text at the bottom of the engraving for context.
