Masked woman by Wenceslaus Hollar

A strangely dressed and a little bit mysterious Bohemian woman from the 17th century. The woman seems to be ready for the coming of winter with her stylish face mask. The original landscape behind the woman has been removed by Artistiques. Nice vintage-style baroque illustration with a hint of steampunk vibes.

The artwork is based on the work "Winter en Zomer" (Winter and Summer) by Bohemian artist Wenceslaus Hollar, 1643.
