Nobilis Mulier Bohemica

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing upright. She has a calm expression, delicate facial features, and is wearing a large fur hat. She is dressed in elaborate attire with a layered gown, fur-trimmed cloak, and flat shoes. The background is plain, and there is text in German at the top of the image. The artwork resembles an etching or engraving from the 17th century, with a signature and date at the bottom left.
