The Vesper Bell

Rudolf Eickemeyer

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an elderly woman seated from the waist up, with her hands clasped near her face, looking downward. She has white hair in a bun, wearing a white blouse, checkered skirt, and a knitted shawl. A ball of yarn and a partial knitting project are on her lap. Next to her, there is a plant on a windowsill.
