Mulier Nobilis aut Generosa Anglica is a 1643 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a woman in a long dress, with her hair pulled back and a fan in her right hand. She is standing with her left hand holding the front of her dress, which is draped over her arm. The woman's dress is long and flowing, with a high neckline and puffed sleeves. The background of the image is a plain beige color. The woman's pose and attire suggest that she is a noble or aristocratic woman, possibly from the 17th century. The level of detail in the image, particularly in the folds of the woman's dress, suggests that it was created using a precise and intricate technique. This image is an example of the work of artist Hollar, Wenceslaus.
