Mulier Augustana

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-length profile of a woman standing, facing to the right. She is depicted with delicate lines, showing a composed expression. She wears a large, wide-brimmed hat with a decorative band and bow. She is dressed in a richly detailed jacket with a high, pleated ruff around her neck and long sleeves. Her voluminous skirt extends to the floor in pleats, and she wears shoes. The background is simple with no other objects, and the illustration is labeled "Mulier Augustana" at the bottom.
