Old Woman in Bed is a 1906 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white image shows an older woman lying in bed, her head resting on a pillow. A younger person sits beside her, holding a small object—maybe a spoon or tool—close to her face. The room looks simple, with a dark wall and a window behind them. The woman’s face is turned away, but her hand rests on the bedsheet. The lighting is soft, making shadows on their clothes and skin. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark like this.
