National Gallery of Art

The image shows a close-up side profile portrait of an elderly individual, focusing on the head and upper torso. The person is positioned in profile facing the right side of the image, with detailed facial features such as a pronounced nose, deep-set eyes, and visible wrinkles. They wear a beanie or cap, and a dark scarf or shawl around their neck. The background is plain, and there is a signature and date "W. Geirl 1874" in the upper right corner.
