Mulier Aulica Turca

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-length portrait of a person standing upright. The individual is positioned with one hand on their hip and the other resting over their stomach. They have a composed expression on their face, characterized by defined facial features and a slightly upward gaze. They are wearing a headpiece and a long, intricately patterned dress with long sleeves cinched at the waist with a belt, and a large piece of fabric drapes around their shoulders and down their back. They are wearing pointed shoes with a raised heel and a large, ornate piece of jewelry around their neck. The background is a plain, light-toned canvas with minimal texture.
