Artist, German, 1740 - 1814

The image shows an engraving of a woman depicted from the waist up. She is slightly hunched forward and looking downward. Her facial features are delicately rendered, and her curly hair is styled away from her face with a headband. She wears a band or bracelet on her upper arm and appears to be draped in a cloth that partially covers her lower body. The setting around her is artistically rendered with engraved patterns suggesting texture and depth, with lightly sketched clouds on the left side.
