"Vrouw uit Arabië" (Woman from Arabia) is an etching by Stefano della Bella, a prominent Italian artist of the 17th century. Created between 1620 and 1664, the artwork depicts a woman in traditional garb, holding a staff with a banner, potentially representing the region of Arabia. Della Bella's detailed engraving style and use of linework emphasize the figure's dress and posture, creating a sense of realism and character. This work is a part of a series by Della Bella exploring different cultures and regions, showcasing his interest in ethnography and the world beyond Italy. The etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands.
