Bust of an Old Woman Wearing a Head Scarf

Lagneau

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an older woman's upper body, up to the chest. She faces forward with her head turned slightly to the right. The woman has fine wrinkles on her face, a smiling expression, slightly squinted eyes, and partially visible hair. She wears a headscarf over her shoulders, and layered attire with a reddish outer garment and grey inner garment. The background is a plain, textured surface without any accessories or objects.
