Wenceslaus Hollar

The image shows a woman standing upright, facing the viewer. She has a calm expression with delicately drawn features and is wearing a wide circular fur hat. She is dressed in historically styled clothing, including a large fur mantle, a patterned collar, and a long skirt. Her hands are inside a fur muff at the center of her body. The background is a plain surface, emphasizing the woman's figure. The image is a finely detailed etching with intricate line work and shading.
