Winter

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person from the waist up, facing the viewer directly. Their right hand is raised, holding a piece of garment or accessory closer to their chest. The person has delicate facial features, well-defined eyes, and a composed expression. Their hair is styled with curls framing their face, partially covered by a hood or headdress. They wear a voluminous cloak or gown made of thick material with fur trim. The person holds a fur muff with one hand and wears no visible jewelry. The background has a textured surface, resembling a wall with text in Latin and English referencing winter at the bottom of the image.
