From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Virgo Tiguriensis is a 1649 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching, titled Virgo Tiguriensis, is a portrait of a woman dressed in a long, dark-colored dress with a white apron and a ruffled collar. She wears a hat and holds a rosary in her hands. The image is rendered in black and white, with fine lines and delicate details. The woman's attire and the style of the etching suggest a Baroque influence. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the image. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, holds this etching.
