Artist, Dutch, 1604 - 1652

The image is a detailed engraving showing an upper body portrait of a young woman named Loisa van Oraengien en Nassaw. She is facing slightly to her right with her head and gaze directed towards the viewer. Her facial features have soft contours, including large eyes, a straight nose, and a small closed mouth. Her shoulder-length hair flows away from her face, partially hiding a headdress. She wears ornate clothing with lace detailing, a collar with lace, ribbons on the bodice, and a pearl necklace. The background has a stippled pattern, providing contrast to the figure. The portrait is within an oval frame with text indicating the year and context.
