This 1684 etching by Antoine Masson, titled "Marie de Lorraine, Duchesse de Guise, Princesse de Joinville", depicts the noblewoman in an oval frame with her name inscribed around its border. She is shown in a simple, elegant dress with a fur stole, and her elaborate hairstyle of the period is highlighted. The etching includes a coat of arms below, emphasizing Marie de Lorraine's high social standing. This print is a fine example of French portraiture from the Baroque period and is a valuable historical artifact of the time.
