Hoofd van een oude vrouw met muts en een boek in haar hand 1862 - 1908

This etching, created by Belgian artist Piet Verhaert between 1862 and 1908, depicts the head of an elderly woman wearing a cap and holding a book in her hand. The artist is known for his realistic and detailed style, evident in the intricate lines and shading of the woman's features and clothing. Verhaert's work often explores the lives and experiences of ordinary people, and this intimate portrait captures the wisdom and weariness of an aged individual. The etching is a small-scale work, measuring just 132 mm in height and 90 mm in width, allowing for a close-up view of the subject's expression.
