1643
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ciuis Coloniesis Vxor is a 1643 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a woman standing sideways. She wears a long, flowing robe with a hood pulled over her head, and a small cap with a pom-pom on top. In her hands, she holds a woven basket and a folded cloth. The artist used fine lines to show the texture of her clothes and hair, making everything look detailed. The text at the bottom reads *"Ciuis Coloniesis Vxor"* and the date "1643." If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create these kinds of prints.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
