Vrouw met opgestoken haar, schuin op de rug gezien 1645

"Vrouw met opgestoken haar, schuin op de rug gezien" is a 1645 etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, a prolific Czech-born artist who lived and worked in England. The work shows the back of a woman with her hair elaborately styled and arranged in a bun, with the viewer able to see a portion of her pearl necklace. Hollar was known for his detailed drawings and engravings. This piece exemplifies his skill in capturing the texture of hair and clothing, using intricate lines to create a sense of realism. The artwork, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a fine example of a portrait study.
