About this work

This painting shows an elderly woman sitting on a bench, dressed in dark clothing and a hat. She holds a cane in her right hand, and her left hand rests on her lap. The background is a cityscape with buildings and a body of water, possibly a river or lake. The woman's attire and the cityscape suggest a late 19th or early 20th-century setting. The artist's use of muted colors and soft brushstrokes creates a somber and contemplative atmosphere. The artist's mother is a poignant subject, and the painting invites the viewer to reflect on the artist's relationship with her.
