Mulier Svevica vel Augustana

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman standing in a side profile with her hands clasped in front of her. Her facial features include a small nose and lips, and she has tight curls framing her face with the rest of her hair styled under a round hat. She wears a high-necked dress with long, voluminous sleeves, a ruffled collar, and a full, pleated skirt. A belt around her waist holds keys and a small doll or figure. The background is plain.
