Mulier Habitans Algieri

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person standing upright wearing a hooded cloak that covers their head and falls down around their body. Their face, visible through the hood, features large eyes and a straight nose. The person's hair is not visible. They wear long, loose-fitting garments beneath the cloak that reach the ground, leaving their left foot exposed. The individual is holding the cloak closed at the neck with one hand. The background is plain.
