Mulier Coloniensis Exspatians is a 1643 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a woman in 17th-century attire, facing left. She wears a long dress with a full skirt, a tight-fitting bodice, and a ruffled collar. A cloak is draped over her left arm, and she holds a hat in her right hand. The woman's clothing and hairstyle suggest she is from a specific region or social class. The level of detail in the etching implies a high level of craftsmanship. The artist's use of etching techniques creates a sense of texture and depth in the image.
