Hoved af en ældre kone med nedadrettet blik, vendt mod venstre 1865 - 1917

This etching, "Hoved af en ældre kone med nedadrettet blik, vendt mod venstre," created between 1865 and 1917 by Danish artist Frans Schwartz, captures the essence of an older woman's contemplative gaze. Schwartz's signature style, known for its expressive lines and delicate shading, imbues the portrait with a sense of quiet introspection. The woman's head, turned slightly away from the viewer, is rendered with a poignant detail that emphasizes the passage of time. The work is a testament to Schwartz's mastery of etching, a technique that he utilized throughout his career to explore human emotion and character. "Hoved af en ældre kone med nedadrettet blik, vendt mod venstre" resides in the permanent collection of the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst.
