Alte Frau mit violettem Kopftuch is a 1720 oil by Balthasar Denner, a Rococo painting work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
This painting shows a woman's head and shoulders, looking straight ahead. She has a lined face, thin eyebrows, and a furrowed forehead. Her eyes are pale, and her mouth is set in a neutral expression. She wears a light-colored headscarf that covers her hair and neck, and a dark fur coat over a light-colored dress. The background is dark, with a lighter area behind the woman's head. The overall mood is somber, with the woman's serious expression and the dark colors used in the painting.
