This etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, titled "Bust of a woman wearing low-cut dress", depicts a woman in profile with exaggerated features and a growth on her forehead. This detailed print, dated 1660, showcases Hollar's exceptional skill in capturing both the grotesque and the realistic. The woman's prominent breast, low-cut dress, and long flowing hair contribute to the overall sense of curiosity and fascination that the work evokes. Although attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, the attribution remains questionable.
