A readable Diana above a rising underline
A large looped D opens the readable name Diana. Small rounded joined letters follow it, above a long rising underline with a hook at the left. The lower line repeats the name’s rightward movement on a separate level; compare its straight extension with the softer curves inside the initial and body letters.

Opening, letter body and finish
The enlarged opening stands above the smaller letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 2.36×, while the whole image is 2.03 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes below the writing line; look at this ending separately from the slant of the letters themselves.
Loops and the lower flourish
The sample contains 3 enclosed loops and 3 main ink groups. The lower flourish spans about 45% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
