An elderly woman is seated in a chair, captured from the waist up. She is sitting upright, facing forward with her hands resting in her lap. She has a calm expression. Her facial features include deep-set eyes and a serene demeanor, with her hair covered by a dark headscarf. She is wearing a dark, richly textured dress adorned with a broad, white lace collar. The sleeves and front of her dress feature ruffles. She holds a cane in her right hand, resting its handle on her knee. The background consists of a simple wall. The chair is partially visible with a wooden texture and elegant detailing on one side.
