Artist, Flemish, c. 1570 - 1629

The image depicts a woman standing upright and angled slightly to the left. She has delicate facial features, an elegant expression, and styled hair with a tiara. She wears royal clothing, including an elaborate gown with a ruffled collar and a bejeweled cross. In her hands, she holds a scepter and an orb. A crown is placed on a table next to her. Light streams through a circular-patterned window behind her, illuminating a textured curtain background.
