"Virgo Nuptialis Argentinensis," an etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, depicts a woman from Strasbourg dressed in her wedding attire. The intricate detail of the woman's clothing, including the crown and ruff, highlights Hollar's skilled use of line and shading in his engravings. This artwork is a testament to Hollar's talent for capturing the details of everyday life in the 17th century, and his engravings are valuable for understanding the fashion and customs of the time.
