This etching, created by Jacob Houbraken between 1741 and 1743, depicts Anna of Denmark, the wife of King James I of England. The portrait, housed in the Rijksmuseum, presents Anna in an oval frame, adorned with a pearl necklace and a lavish dress. A cherub figure in the lower portion of the print leans against a large urn and other symbolic objects, adding a decorative and allegorical element to the composition. This engraving showcases Houbraken's skill in capturing the likeness and presence of the queen, highlighting the refined style and techniques of 18th-century portraiture.
