Muffs and Articles of Clothing on a Table 1647

Wenceslaus Hollar's "Muffs and Articles of Clothing on a Table," an etching from 1647, captures the elegance and detail of 17th-century fashion. The composition features a variety of luxurious garments including a fur muff, a lace-trimmed scarf, and a feathered hat, all meticulously rendered in Hollar's signature style. The artist's keen eye for detail and masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism. This evocative still life is a testament to Hollar's skill as a printmaker and his ability to capture the beauty of everyday objects.
