Object description
The portrait depicts an elderly woman turned almost in profile. Her face is wrinkled, and she has a prominent ear, nose, and a protruding split chin. She is pressing her right hand against her chest, wearing a white scarf on her shoulders. There is an allegory of the passage of time and fading of physical beauty.
