1643
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Civis Coloniensis Filia is a 1643 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a woman standing upright, facing left. She wears a dark dress with a white collar and a head covering, and holds a basket in her right hand. The woman's attire and the style of the etching suggest a Baroque influence. The level of detail in the etching, particularly in the folds of the woman's clothing, indicates a high level of skill on the part of the artist. The etching is a fine example of the Baroque style, and fans of this movement may enjoy exploring more works by artists such as Hollar, Wenceslaus.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
