1643
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mulier Danica 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 in old-fashioned clothes. She wears a dark, hooded cloak that covers her whole body, a white collar, and a cap on her head. Her shoes have striped stockings, and she stands on a simple floor line. The title at the bottom says *Mulier Danica*, which means "Danish Woman." The artist used a method that creates fine lines and shading—this is called etching. If you like this style, look up etching next.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
