"Navigatoris Hollandici Vxor" is an etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned Czech-born artist known for his detailed and precise works. The artwork depicts a woman from the Netherlands, likely a sailor's wife, standing in profile, carrying a bucket. Her attire reflects the fashion of the period, with a wide collar, elaborate skirt, and a distinctive hat. The etching's delicate lines and use of shading showcase Hollar's mastery of the technique, creating a sense of realism and capturing the details of the woman's clothing and the textures of her surroundings.
