About this work

This image shows a lithograph of an older woman. She wears a hat and a scarf around her neck, and her face is drawn with a few lines. The background is a light color. The woman's face is not detailed, but her expression is serious. Her hat and scarf are drawn with more detail, showing the folds and texture of the fabric. The lithograph is a simple but effective portrait of an older woman. It is a good example of the Impressionism and Realism movements. You can learn more about the Impressionism movement.
