The artwork in the image is a brass rubbing, created by placing paper over an engraved monumental brass and rubbing it with wax. These rubbings are popular souvenirs often taken from medieval grave markers found in churches, particularly in England.
The image depicts a medieval noblewoman or religious figure (such as a nun or a lady like Margaret Bernard Peyton, sometimes called the "Lace Lady") with her hands folded in prayer.
The style is Gothic or Medieval, consistent with 14th to 15th-century funerary brasses.
The piece is a hand-made rubbing, typically done in gold or black wax on a dark background.
It is housed in a simple wooden frame with a gold inner liner, a common way these vintage rubbings were framed.
