Artist, Dutch, 1604 - 1652

The image is an engraved portrait of a young girl facing slightly to her right and gazing directly at the viewer. The girl has delicate features with large eyes and a small mouth. Her hair is curly and full, arranged with a part in the center and hanging around her shoulders. She is wearing an elaborately designed dress with patterns that suggest brocade or lace, adorned with intricate details on the sleeves. She wears a simple pearl necklace around her neck. The background features a textured oval frame with text along its border and additional text at the bottom of the image, including the girl's name, "PR. HENRIETTA CATHARINA NASSAVIO-ARAUSIACA," along with credits for the artwork's creation.
