About this work

This portrait painting shows an elderly woman. She is wearing a white headscarf and a white shawl with small, white dots. Her face is pale, and she looks directly at the viewer. The woman's expression is serious, and her eyes seem to hold a deep wisdom. The painting's background is dark, which makes the woman stand out even more.
