Mulier Hebrea in Tracia is a 1644 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a woman dressed in traditional Jewish attire, with a long robe and head covering. Her right arm is extended, while her left arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting on her hip. The woman's face is turned slightly to her right, and she appears to be wearing a necklace or pendant. The etching is rendered in fine detail, with intricate patterns on the woman's clothing and a subtle texture to the paper. The overall effect is one of quiet dignity and contemplation.
