From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mulier Basiliensis is a 1644 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is an etching of a woman in a long dress and a hat. The woman is standing, facing forward, with her hands by her sides. She is wearing a long, dark dress with a lighter-colored underskirt, a hat, and a scarf around her neck. The background of the image is light-colored. The woman's clothing and hairstyle suggest that she is from a specific time period. The level of detail in the etching is high, with visible lines and textures that give the image depth and dimension. The artist's use of etching techniques creates a sense of realism and intimacy in the portrait. To learn more about the artist's work, explore the art of Hollar, Wenceslaus.
