Mercatoris Norimbergensis Vxor

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing in profile, with her head slightly turned to the left. She has delicate facial features and her hair is styled into a low bun. She is wearing a dark-colored wide-brimmed hat, a fur-trimmed shawl or cape over a layered gown, and a long pleated skirt. The woman appears to be holding a small object or fabric in her hands. The background is plain.
