"Portret van een vrouw met kanten hoofddoekje" is an etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, a prolific Czech-born artist known for his detailed and precise works. Created in 1648, the artwork depicts a woman's portrait in close-up, emphasizing her face and elaborate lace headwear. The intricate details of the lace, rendered with fine lines, demonstrate Hollar's masterful use of the etching technique. The woman's gaze is direct, and her expression is calm, suggesting a sense of quiet dignity. This small-scale portrait is a testament to Hollar's skill in capturing the essence of his subject with delicate precision. The etching is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
