1649
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Dni Maioris sive Praetoris Londinensis Vxoris Hab: is a 1649 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a woman in old-fashioned clothes. She wears a wide-brimmed hat, a ruffled collar, and a long dress with puffy sleeves. In her left hand, she holds a fan, and her right hand rests on a small, round object. The text above her head says something in German about a "Mrs. Mayor or Burgomaster’s wife from London." The artist’s name, *Hollar*, and the year *1649* are written at the bottom. 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.
