Old Age 1891

"Old Age" is an etching by Scottish artist David Young Cameron, created in 1891. The artwork portrays an elderly woman in profile, her face etched with the lines of time, her gaze cast down. Her simple clothing and cap accentuate the subject's age and the theme of quiet contemplation. Cameron's use of delicate lines and subtle shading brings a sense of realism to the portrait. The etching is a poignant study of the human condition and the passage of time.
