This engraving by Pieter van Gunst depicts Elisabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia. The work is framed within a decorative border and includes a small image below the main portrait. The elaborate frame, detailed clothing, and dramatic pose of the sitter are all hallmarks of the Baroque style. The engraving, created during the artist's lifetime, is a testament to the enduring fascination with historical figures and the skill of the Dutch printmaker. This work is a beautiful example of a portrait engraving, a style that was popular in 17th and 18th century Europe.
