Mulier Pragensis 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 sideways. She wears a wide-brimmed hat, a ruffled collar, and a long dress with striped sleeves. Her hands rest near her waist, and the background is plain. The title at the bottom, *Mulier Pragensis*, hints she might be from Prague. The artist’s name, Wenceslaus Hollar, is signed in the corner.
