This is a black-and-white drawing of a woman dressed in old-fashioned clothes. She wears a tall fur hat, a heavy fur coat, and a ruffled collar. Her face looks serious, and she stands with her hands tucked inside her sleeves. The title at the bottom says "Nobilis Mulier Bohemica," which means "Noble Woman of Bohemia." The artist’s name, Wenceslaus Hollar, is signed in the corner. If you like this style, check out more works by Hollar, Wenceslaus.
