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.
