1643
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mulier Generosa Anglica 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 standing still. She wears a long, striped dress with a high collar and a cape draped over her shoulders. Her hands rest on her stomach, and she holds a small bag in one hand. The background is plain, with just a dark line at the bottom like a floor. The title at the bottom, *Mulier Generosa Anglica*, means "Generous Englishwoman." The artist signed it in 1643, and the style looks like a sketch made with a sharp tool.
