1643
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mulier Anglica Habitans in Pago 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’s holding a small basket in one hand, and her long skirt is gathered at the waist. A wide-brimmed hat sits on her head, and her sleeves are puffy at the shoulders. The title says she’s an "English woman living in Pago," but we don’t know more about her. The artist signed it in 1643, so it’s from that year. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how this kind of print was made.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
