Alte Frau mit goldgelbem Kopftuch is a 1737 oil by Balthasar Denner, a Rococo painting work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
This painting shows an older woman with a golden-yellow headscarf. Her face is lined with wrinkles, and she looks directly at the viewer. She wears a fur-trimmed coat, and her head is covered with a light-colored cloth. The woman's expression is serious, and her eyes seem to hold a deep wisdom. The artist has captured the subtleties of her face, from the creases around her eyes to the gentle curve of her lips. The painting is a beautiful example of the artist's skill in capturing the human form. To learn more about the artist's techniques, look up Balthasar Denner.
