From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mulier Aulica Turca is a 1644 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a woman standing still. She wears a long, patterned robe with puffed sleeves and a headscarf. Her hands hold a fan, and she stands on a simple floor line. The title says "Mulier Aulica Turca," which likely means this is a formal portrait of a Turkish woman. The artist used fine lines to show her clothing’s details. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
