EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, we are transported back to the 17th century, where fashion was a statement of elegance and sophistication. The subject of the print is a woman adorned in a stunning ensemble that showcases the trends of her time. Her stiff lace collar frames her face with intricate delicacy, adding an air of refinement to her appearance. Atop her head sits a flat-crowned fur hat, exuding both warmth and style. The circular shape of the print draws our attention to these remarkable accessories, highlighting their importance in defining her identity. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every line etched onto the paper. From the fine lacework on her collar to the texture of fur on her hat, each element adds depth and dimension to this exquisite portrayal. As we gaze upon this image from centuries past, we can't help but marvel at how fashion has evolved over time while still drawing inspiration from its rich history. This artwork serves as a reminder that clothing not only reflects personal taste but also carries cultural significance. Displayed within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this piece by Wenceslaus Hollar captures both the beauty and complexity found within 17th-century Bohemian fashion. It invites us into a world long gone yet forever preserved through artistry and imagination.
