Portrait of Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia

Willem Jacobsz Delff engraved nearly 100 portraits of monarchs, statesmen, soldiers, theologians, philosophers, artists, and doctors. His talent for rendering different textures is particularly evident in his royal portraits. In this likeness of Elizabeth Stuart, he engraved her hairstyle, more than 100 gleaming pearls, and her detailed dress with a large lace collar with utmost precision.
