Claude Mellan's engraving, *Henriette-Anne d'Angleterre, duchesse d'Orléans*, depicts a bust-length portrait of the Duchess of Orleans, born in England in 1644 and died in 1670. The meticulously rendered detail of the sitter's hair, pearl necklace, and subtle facial expression highlights the artist's mastery of line and intricate detail. The work, created between 1644-1670, is a prime example of Baroque portraiture, highlighting both the subject's social standing and personal characteristics.
