Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The illustration depicts a woman standing, facing slightly to the right. She has visible eyes, a straight nose, and lips slightly parted. Her curly hair falls to her shoulders and is partially covered by a wide-brimmed hat. She wears a dress with a high collar and billowing sleeves, and a cape or shawl on her shoulders. She holds a fan in front of her waist. She stands on unadorned ground with plain background and handwritten script at the top.
