Artist, Bohemian, 1607 - 1677

The image depicts a woman standing facing slightly to the left. She is shown in a standing position with her right arm extended outward and the left arm bent and resting on her body. Her face is in a three-quarter view with distinct facial features and a calm expression, with her hair partially covered by a headscarf. She is wearing a long patterned dress with intricate designs and a cloak draped over her shoulders. The woman is adorned with a necklace, and there is a decorative element at her waist. The background of the image is plain, and the focus is on the woman. The art style suggests it is an etching, typical of historical portraiture.
