This is a black-and-white drawing of a woman seen from behind. She’s wearing a long, flowing skirt with horizontal stripes and a dark cloak draped over her head. Her hands are tucked under her cloak, and she stands on a simple floor. The title at the bottom reads *Mulier Diepana*, and the top says something about a "Normandische von Diepen." The artist’s name, Wenceslaus Hollar, is signed at the bottom left. Next, look up etching to see how this kind of print was made.
