Galla mulier before 1558

This engraving by Enea Vico, titled "Galla mulier," depicts a woman viewed from behind, standing on a grassy hill. She wears a voluminous dress and her long hair is tied back with a ribbon. A sign on a small tree to the right reads "Galla mulier" indicating the subject's identity. The artist's use of line and hatching to create a sense of depth and volume highlights the detail in her clothing. This work is a prime example of the fashion plates popular in the 16th century, which were often used to showcase the latest styles. This artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum and measures 150 mm in height and 92 mm in width.
