Woman with White Veil and Black Hat (Mary Stuart?)

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the head and shoulders of a woman in a black and white etching. Her head is turned slightly to her left, with a straight nose, slightly arched eyebrows, and direct eyes. She has neatly styled hair and wears a detailed garment with a high collar and a necklace. The background consists of densely hatched lines, typical of traditional etchings.
