1647
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mulier Augustae Vindelicorum is a 1647 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 wide-brimmed hat, a ruffled collar, and a long dress with a belt tied at the waist. Her left hand rests on her hip, and her right hand holds the skirt. The background is plain, with just a simple floor line at the bottom. The artist signed it in the corner, and the title at the bottom reads *Mulier Augustae Vindelicorum*. That’s Latin for "Woman of Augsburg," which was a city in Germany at the time. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists made prints like this.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
