Biddende oude vrouw 1834 - 1892

"Biddende Oude Vrouw" (Praying Old Woman), a lithograph by Edouard Taurel, depicts an elderly woman in a dimly lit interior, her head bowed in prayer. Her clasped hands and closed eyes convey a sense of piety and humility, while the simple, rustic setting suggests a life of modest means. Taurel's work often explored themes of faith and spirituality, drawing on the traditions of Dutch genre painting. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into 19th-century religious devotion.
