Civis Londinensis Vxor

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

This image shows a woman standing in profile, facing to the right. Her facial features are obscured by her hat's shadow. She has short hair visible under a wide-brimmed hat. She wears a long coat with detailed patterns and a prominent collar, over a long dress with visible folds. The woman stands on a textured surface, with a plain or lightly speckled background. There is text above and below the image that reads "Citizen's wife" and "Civis Londinensis Uxor."
