Engelse vrouw van stand met bloemen in de hand 1638 - 1707

"Engelse vrouw van stand met bloemen in de hand" (English lady of rank with flowers in her hand) is an etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, a prolific Czech-born artist who worked extensively in England. Created between 1638 and 1707, this print depicts a woman in a stylish gown, her hands clasped in front of her. Hollar's mastery of detail is evident in the intricate folds of her dress and the delicate lace trimming. The etching, measuring 134 mm by 75 mm, is a fine example of Hollar's ability to capture both elegance and realism in his work. It is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
