Ciuis Coloniesis Vxor

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing in profile, facing right and holding a small basket with hands clasped in front. The person has a prominent nose and slightly opened mouth, with hair mostly covered by a cloak. They wear an extravagant neck ruff, a hat with a pom-pom, and a multi-layered dress with intricate detailing on the sleeves and hem. The background is a plain, light-colored surface with no specific elements.
