About this work
An elderly woman is shown in close-up from the shoulders up, her grey hair falling loosely around a deeply lined face. She wears a plain pink top with a thin necklace, her tired, heavy-lidded eyes meeting the viewer directly while her mouth is set in a firm, unsmiling line.
Warm flesh tones built from ochre, rose and umber model the strong volumes of the face, with visible directional brushstrokes describing hair and fabric. The soft, mottled pink-and-grey background isolates the sitter, and the frontal, unflinching gaze combined with the muted palette gives the portrait a somber, dignified gravity.
