Elderly Woman with Hands Folded
Summary
Monochrome drawing in line, depicting a forward-facing, seated, elderly woman; her head is turned slightly to the left, following her gaze, and the corners of her mouth are down-turned; she wears her hair loosely gathered away from the face and small, circular, wire-framed spectacles; her shoulders are hunched and the hands rest together in her lap. The lines of the body are freely drawn and used economically to express volume and weight.
