Figure of a Lady Standing 1625 - 1677

This etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, a prolific Bohemian artist active in England during the 17th century, depicts a woman standing in a flowing gown. The image, likely a portrait, showcases Hollar’s meticulous attention to detail, particularly in rendering the fabric's textures and the woman's refined features. The inscription at the bottom notes that the work was based on a drawing by renowned painter Anthony van Dyck. This piece, a testament to Hollar's technical mastery and his ability to capture the elegance of his time, can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
