Hoved af en gammel kone, profil mod højre 1872

"Hoved af en gammel kone, profil mod højre" (Head of an Old Woman, Profile to the Right) is a small, detailed etching by Danish artist Frans Schwartz, created in 1872. This intimate portrait depicts the head and shoulders of an elderly woman in profile, her face etched with the lines of a life well-lived. The intricate hatching and cross-hatching techniques employed by Schwartz lend depth and texture to the subject, while the oval frame emphasizes her isolation and quiet dignity. This work exemplifies Schwartz's skill in capturing human emotion and individuality through delicate lines and evocative compositions.
