Portret van een onbekende oude vrouw 1892

"Portret van een onbekende oude vrouw" is a pencil drawing by Frans Proost, a Belgian artist active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Created in 1892, this small-scale work captures the profile of an elderly woman, her face etched with the weight of age and experience. Proost's meticulous lines suggest the contours of her weathered skin, the delicate folds of her clothing, and the gentle curve of her back. The drawing, rendered in shades of gray, imparts a sense of quiet dignity and contemplation, reflecting the artist's keen observation of his subject. Proost's signature adds a personal touch, completing this intimate portrait.
