Bust of an Old Woman

Cornelis Bega

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an elderly person in profile view, facing left. The person appears slightly hunched, with deep-set facial lines, a large nose, and a protruding chin. They wear a furry hat covering their head and ears, along with a textured garment that could be fur or wool. The background features an etched circular vignette with crosshatch patterns. No jewelry or objects are visible.
