1643
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Cives Hollandica 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 in old-fashioned clothes. She wears a long skirt with vertical folds, a dark cloak draped over her head, and a white collar with lace trim. Her face is plain but serious, with simple lines for eyes and a small mouth. The words “Citizen of Holland” are written above her head, and “Cives Hollandica” is printed at the bottom. The artist’s name, W. Hollar, and the year 1643 appear near the edge. If you like this style, look up etching next.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
