This etching, created by Wenceslaus Hollar in 1643, depicts a woman with a stiff, pleated collar and a large, fur-trimmed cap. The work is framed by a circular border and showcases Hollar's mastery of detail and line, characteristic of his numerous portraits. This particular piece, measuring just 103 mm by 95 mm, is a testament to Hollar's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with meticulous precision. The Rijksmuseum houses this small but impactful example of Hollar's artistry.
