Two Women in Profile is a 1621 ink by Edouard Eckman, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut shows two women standing side by side, facing left. The woman on the left wears a fancy dress with a wide skirt and a tall hat with a feather. The woman on the right has a long coat, a hat with a wide brim, and carries something in her left hand. The artist used simple lines to show the folds in their clothes, making the scene look clean and sharp. This style was common in woodcuts, where artists carved images into wood blocks.
