About this work

This portrait painting depicts an older woman with a stern expression, wearing a white lace headpiece and a dark dress. Her face is the central focus of the image. The woman's attire and the style of the painting suggest a formal, possibly Victorian-era setting. The artist has used oil paint to create a detailed and realistic representation of the subject. The painting is held at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
