Mulier ex Ducatu Wirttembergensi is a 1643 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white etching of a woman standing sideways. She wears a long, flowing dress with a high collar and a puffy sleeve. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she holds a folded cloth in her hands. The artist signed it in 1643, and the title means "Woman from the Duchy of Württemberg." This style was common in the 1600s for detailed portraits. Next, check out the technique: etching.
