Mulier Religiosa Antuerpiensis

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a woman dressed in a long, hooded robe. Her face is hidden by a deep cowl, but you can see her hands folded in front of her. The robe is thick and smooth, with a simple collar peeking out at the neck. The text below reads *Mulier Religiosa Antuerpiensis*, which hints this might be a nun or a religious woman from Antwerp. The image is made using lines pressed into metal, giving it a sharp, detailed look. Check out the technique: etching to see how this kind of print was made.
