Mulier Basiliensis

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing upright, facing forward. The individual has a composed expression with delicate facial features, including almond-shaped eyes and a slightly turned-down mouth. Dark hair is hidden under a voluminous fur hat, and a high, pleated collar encircles their neck. The person is dressed in a period-style outfit, a long, dark gown with a fitted bodice featuring vertical lines and long sleeves. The skirt is full and pleated, extending to the ground. Their left hand is positioned at the waist, resting on the fabric's folds. The background is plain.
