Engelse vrouw van stand met mof, staand op traptrede 1639 - 1707

"Engelse vrouw van stand met mof, staand op traptrede" (English Woman of Rank with Muff, Standing on a Step) is an etching by the prolific Czech artist Wenceslaus Hollar. This small, finely detailed print, currently located in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman of the English aristocracy in fashionable attire. Hollar's precise and elegant style captures the richness of the woman's clothing, including her fur muff and the flowing fabric of her dress. This work is a testament to Hollar's mastery of etching and his ability to render detail with precision. The etching exemplifies Hollar's talent for capturing the elegance and sophistication of the European nobility, a popular subject for his work.
