"Vrouw uit Dalmatië" is a 17th-century etching by Stefano della Bella, depicting an allegorical figure of Dalmatia. The figure, dressed in elaborate attire, holds a bow and arrow and a shield emblazoned with three heads, representing the region's strength and resilience. Della Bella was known for his detailed and expressive etchings, often depicting historical and allegorical subjects. This work is a fine example of his ability to capture the essence of a place and its people through a single, compelling image. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
