Brustbild einer alten Bäuerin is a 1850 by Weber, Dominik, held at City Museums Freiburg.
This drawing shows an old peasant woman leaning on her walking stick. She looks like she's thinking deeply. Her face is lined with age and experience, which makes her seem very real. The artist tried to show her as she really was, not in an idealized way. This is interesting because it's different from other paintings of that time. To learn more about this style of drawing, look at the technique of cross-hatching.
