About this work
An elderly woman is portrayed in near-profile, her head tilted down and to the side beneath a plain white cloth cap. A blue shawl patterned with orange and yellow flowers is draped over her shoulders, standing out against the deep brown ground behind her.
Worked in pastel on toned paper, the piece leaves the warm ochre support visible at the edges while building the face with dense, layered strokes that trace every wrinkle and fold of skin. The cool blue of the shawl offsets the warm flesh tones, and the woman's lowered gaze lends the portrait a quiet, reflective dignity.
