The image shows an engraved portrait featuring the upper body of a woman within an oval frame. She is facing forward, with her head slightly tilted to her right. Her facial features are sharply defined with a high forehead, arched eyebrows, large eyes, a straight nose, and a closed mouth. Her hair is styled back, with a decorative headpiece. She is adorned in an elaborate gown with a high collar, puffed sleeves, and pearl accents. Surrounding her is an ornate oval border containing text identifying her as Jeanne d'Albret, mother of Henry IV, king of France and Navarre. The background within the frame is shaded with lines, and below it is a panel with engraved text in French.
