"Mulier Coloniensis" is an etching by the prolific Czech-born artist Wenceslaus Hollar. The artwork depicts a woman from Cologne, Germany, standing with her back to the viewer and her face obscured by a large, draped cloak. The fine lines of Hollar's etching technique give the cloak a sense of texture and depth. The image offers a glimpse into the clothing styles and social norms of 17th-century Cologne, highlighting the cultural diversity that Hollar encountered in his travels throughout Europe.
