The image, titled "Young French Woman, 1581," is an intricate masterpiece from Robert von Spalarts' Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, published in 1796. The young woman in the engraving is depicted with an air of grace and elegance, her youthful features softened by the delicate hand-coloring. Her attire reflects the fashion trends of the time, with a fitted bodice, voluminous skirt, and a high-necked collar.
