Half-Figure of an Old Woman with a Cap

Hans Baldung Grien

National Gallery of Art

The image displays the upper half of an elderly woman's body in profile, facing the left side. Her arms rest in front of her, and her facial features are detailed, showing prominent cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and wrinkles. She wears a simple head covering with textured folds and plain clothing, partially exposing her bust. She is not wearing any jewelry or holding objects. The background is a solid, muted blue-green color, providing contrast and focusing attention on the woman.
