Bust of an Old Woman Turned in Profile to the Right is a 1650 ink by Netherlandish 17th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows the profile of an elderly woman, her face turned to the right. She wears a headscarf and a high-necked dress, with her hands clasped in front of her. The image is rendered in simple lines and shading, with a focus on the woman's facial features and posture. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. If you're interested in exploring more works from the Baroque movement, you might want to look up the artist Rembrandt van Rijn, who was a prominent figure in this style.
This artist was born in the Netherlands in the early 1600s and made drawings and engravings.
