Virgo Argentinensis

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing in a frontal position with her body slightly turned to the left. She has short hair partially covered by a large, circular hat. She is wearing a long gown with a fitted bodice and full sleeves, layered with a dark, short-sleeved garment. Her hands are positioned in front of her body, playing with her attire. There are no visible pieces of jewelry on her. The background is plain.
