This black-and-white drawing shows a woman standing straight, hands folded in front of her. She wears a long skirt with a patterned apron, a white collar, and a cap on her head. Her shoes are simple, and the background is plain. The title at the bottom says *Mulier Belgica in Vestitu Domestico*, which means "Belgian Woman in Domestic Dress." This suggests she’s dressed in everyday clothes, not fancy ones. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists like Hollar made detailed prints.
