This etching, *Oude Moskovische vrouw met stok in een korte mantel* (1764) by Jean Baptist Leprince, depicts an elderly woman in traditional Russian garb standing with a stick against a backdrop of a harbor. This work is part of a larger series by Leprince entitled "Habillement des Vielles," which focused on depicting the clothing and customs of women from various cultures.

The etching is a testament to the cultural fascination of the 18th century and remains a valuable historical record of traditional Russian dress.
