1643
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mulier Austriae Superioris 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 straight ahead. She wears a long, striped skirt, a high-collared dress, and a cape that drapes over her shoulders. Her hair is pulled back, and she looks calm, holding something small in her left hand. The title below says *"Mulier Austriae Superioris"*—Latin for "Woman of Superior Austria." The artist’s name, *Hollar*, is signed at the bottom, along with the year *1643*. Look up etching next to see how this kind of drawing 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.
