This engraved portrait by Willem Hondius, dated 1630, depicts Elisabeth Stuart, the Queen of Bohemia. The print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features the Queen in a three-quarter-length pose, her face and ruff in sharp focus, emphasizing her royal status. Her elegant attire and the intricate detail of the pearl necklace reflect the fashion of the early 17th century. The oval frame with the inscription "Constantia" further emphasizes the resilience and fortitude of the Queen, who endured political turmoil and exile throughout her life.
