Portrait of a Young Girl, Plate 14 is a 1636 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a portrait of a young girl with shoulder-length curly hair, wearing a dress with a white collar and puffy sleeves. The girl is looking directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. The background of the portrait is not visible. The portrait is rendered in black and white, with intricate details that suggest it was created using a precise technique. The girl's features are delicately drawn, with subtle shading that adds depth to the image. This etching is a fine example of the Baroque style, characterized by its attention to detail and use of chiaroscuro. To learn more about this style, explore the movement: Baroque.
