Nobilis Mulier Anglica, in Vestitu Hiemali is a 1643 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a woman from behind, dressed in a long, dark coat with a fur-trimmed sleeve. She wears a hat and a white collar that wraps around her neck, with a triangular piece of fabric hanging down in the back. Her dark hair is visible beneath the hat. The woman stands with her weight shifted to one side, her body facing to the left. The background of the etching is a light color, providing contrast to the dark clothing. This etching is characteristic of the Baroque movement.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
