A full-length engraving of the actress Mademoiselle Regnault in the theatrical role of the Princess of Navarre. She is depicted in a standing pose, dressed in a high-waisted, dark gown adorned with decorative horizontal bands across the hem and sleeves, and a prominent vertical trim of white fur or plush fabric. She wears a pearl necklace and a jeweled circlet that secures a long, sheer veil flowing down her back. In her hands, she holds thick, braided cords with tassels that are attached to her waist. An ornate drawstring pouch hangs at her side.
