1649
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Virgo Nuptialis Tiguriensis is a 1649 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a woman in old-fashioned wedding clothes. She wears a tall, pointed hat with a crown-like top, a ruffled collar, and a long skirt with a chain belt. Her hands rest gently in front of her, and the lines show the folds of her dress clearly. The title at the top reads *"Ein Hochzeiterin zu Zurich"* (a bride from Zurich), and the bottom says *"Virgo nuptialis Tiguriensis."* The artist signed it in 1649. If you like this style, look up etching next to see how artists made prints like this.
