Old Woman with Cats

About this work

This drawing shows an old woman sitting on a stool, holding a walking stick in one hand and a cat in the other. She’s dressed in a long, loose robe with a headscarf, and another cat curls up near her feet. A woven basket sits on the ground beside her, and her posture looks tired but calm. The artist used sharp lines to show wrinkles and fabric folds, making the scene feel real. The cats add a quiet, homely touch to the image. Next, look up technique: etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
