Still Life with Accessories
Wenceslaus Hollar, 1647
Hollar’s still lifes of muffs are true masterpieces, displaying his ability to capture the softness of fur using only a series of etched lines. Apart from muffs, this composition also includes satin gloves, lace handkerchiefs, a velvet mask, and a feather fan – a variety of textures and materials that show off his skills as an etcher. Hollar was the first printmaker to use women’s accessories as the basis for still life.
