Nobilis faemina ad templum abiens cum palla Belgica 1592 - 1594

"Nobilis faemina ad templum abiens cum palla Belgica," an anonymous engraving dating back to 1592-1594, depicts a noblewoman dressed in elaborate clothing. The figure stands with a large, round hat and is wearing a heavy cloak with a decorative hemline. This 16th-century artwork provides a glimpse into the fashion of the era and offers a glimpse into Dutch culture and the rituals of the time. The image, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document as well as a stunning example of early engraving techniques.
