Mulier Generosa Gallica

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of a woman standing. She faces forward and gazes slightly to the left. She has an oval face and curly hair that cascades onto her shoulders. She wears a long, flowing dress with intricate patterns, lace details, and puffed sleeves. She holds a folding fan in her right hand and gathers her dress with her left hand. She wears a choker necklace. The background is plain with a small inscription at the bottom of the image.
