Rustica Bohemica

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-length depiction of a person standing upright. The individual is wearing a long, layered outfit that includes a cloak with fur or textured trimmings that falls to the ground. The person's face is visible, showing delicate features with a subtle expression, and their hair is mostly covered by a snug, conical hat. Wrapped around their neck is a soft, large scarf or shawl, adding to the layered appearance. Their clothing includes intricate designs near the bottom, suggesting a pattern or embroidery on a garment beneath the cloak. The person is holding an object clasped in front of their waist. The background is plain and unadorned. The words "Rustica Bohemica" are inscribed beneath the figure.
