En gammel bondekone, der ser ud af et vindue is a 1874 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting depicts an elderly woman, dressed in a dark dress and headscarf, sitting by a window. She is engaged in knitting, with the yarn and needles held in her hands. The woman's gaze is directed outside the window, where a plant is visible. The room's interior is dimly lit, with the woman positioned in front of a window that allows natural light to enter. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the woman lost in thought as she knits. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, explore the technique further.
