Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing upright in profile. She has a poised posture with her head turned slightly to the side. Her facial features include a defined nose and chin. Her hair is styled in an elaborate updo and she is wearing a structured outer garment with a stiff ruff around her neck. The upper part of her attire is dark and textured, while the lower part is a pleated skirt. Her hands are clasped in front of her. The background is plain and the image is in black and white. The text "Mulier Moguntiana" is at the bottom of the image.
