1644
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mulier ex Virginia is a 1644 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a woman standing straight ahead. She has her arms crossed and is barefoot. Her skirt is long with a striped pattern, and she wears a necklace. The title above her says *"a Virginian Woman"* in small letters. The artist signed it as *"W. Hollar fecit"* at the bottom left. This is an old etching, a printmaking method where ink is pressed onto paper. Look up etching to see how artists like Hollar made prints like this.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
