Hoofd van oude vrouw 1739 - 1851

"Hoofd van oude vrouw" (Head of an Old Woman) is an etching created by Johannes Janson between 1739 and 1851. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the head and shoulders of an elderly woman, her face obscured by a hat. Janson, a Dutch artist known for his portraits and etchings, used a delicate, intricate style to capture the subtle lines and wrinkles of the woman's face. The artwork offers a poignant glimpse into the aging process and the quiet dignity of old age.
