Brief Description

Close-up oil painting of an older woman with a wrinkled face and white head covering, looking down

Detailed Description

This oil painting depicts the head and shoulders of an older woman, positioned slightly off-center to the left against a dark, indistinct background. Her head is tilted downwards and to her left, with her gaze directed out of the frame. Her face is characterized by numerous deep wrinkles across her forehead, around her eyes, and on her cheeks. Her nose is prominent, and her mouth is slightly open, revealing a hint of her tongue. Gray hair is visible around her left ear, which is partially covered by a light-colored, possibly white or off-white, fabric head covering. This drapery extends over her head and shoulders, creating soft folds. The woman's skin tone is rendered in warm, earthy browns and oranges, with highlights on her forehead, the bridge of her nose, and her left shoulder, contrasting with the shadowed areas of her face and neck. Her visible garment, a white or light-colored blouse, has a wide, open neckline and is rendered with soft folds.
