Neerkijkende oude vrouw met kap 1894

Joseph Dujardin's 1894 etching, *Neerkijkende oude vrouw met kap*, depicts the head and shoulders of an elderly woman, obscured by a large hooded cloak. The artist uses masterful shading to render the wrinkles and contours of her face, highlighting the passage of time. This intimate portrait captures the woman's solitude and contemplation, inviting the viewer to ponder her thoughts and experiences. The print, measuring 307 mm by 238 mm, is a striking example of Dujardin's expressive style and his ability to convey emotion through the subtleties of line and tone.
