Bust of woman with wide-open mouth and long curly hair falling over her shoulders, wearing low-cut dress with ribbon round her waist, in profile to left 1665

Wenceslaus Hollar's 1665 etching "Leonardo da Vinci inu: WHollar fec: 1665" depicts a woman's profile, rendered in meticulous detail. Her mouth is wide open in a dramatic expression, revealing her teeth, and her long, curly hair cascades over her shoulders. She wears a low-cut dress with a ribbon tied at her waist, a common style of the period. The piece is a testament to Hollar's mastery of etching and showcases his interest in caricature and expressive portraiture. The etching's inscription indicates it was a direct study after a work by Leonardo da Vinci, making this print a valuable historical and artistic artifact.
