This is a black-and-white etching of a woman from behind. She’s dressed in a long, heavy coat with thick sleeves, and her head is covered by a hood pulled tight. The fabric looks detailed, with folds and texture that make it feel real. The title at the bottom says *Nobilis Mulier Anglica in Vestitu Hiemali*—which means "A Noble English Woman in Winter Clothing." It’s signed by Wenceslaus Hollar, who made this in 1643. If you like this style, look up Baroque.
