The Aged Sailor and the Old Woman 1939

"The Aged Sailor and the Old Woman" is a 1939 painting by Hungarian artist Istvan Farkas (1887-1944). The painting depicts an aged couple standing side-by-side, likely looking out at the sea. The sailor’s white gloves and cane, the woman’s fur collar and the blurred background landscape suggest the artwork may be set on a beach or a pier. This painting exemplifies the style of the early 20th century, where the artist explores the human condition, particularly the passage of time, through the depiction of aging.
