American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of an elderly woman seated in a three-quarter view, facing slightly to her left. Her facial features consist of soft and aged skin with wrinkles. Her eyes are pale blue, with thin eyebrows. She wears a white lace bonnet tied under her chin with a black ribbon. A dark garment and a white shawl are draped over her shoulders. She wears a strand of amber-colored beads around her neck and holds a small apple in her right hand. The background is a warm, brownish color.
