This engraving, created by George Vertue in 1718, depicts Anna of Hanover, likely a portrait of the future Queen Anne of Great Britain. The image is framed in an oval, showcasing the subject in a formal setting with a simple gown and her hair styled in an updo. Vertue's work, known for its detail and accuracy, reflects the visual style of 18th-century portraiture, using line and shading to create a realistic representation. The etching was part of a larger series by Vertue and remains a significant piece within the art historical context of British portraiture.
