La vieille 

"La Vieille" is an etching by William Lee-Hankey, a prominent British artist. Created sometime between 1869 and 1952, the etching portrays an elderly woman seated in a chair, her head bowed in contemplation. The meticulous cross-hatching technique, characteristic of Lee-Hankey's style, renders a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the wrinkles on the woman's face and the folds in her clothing. This poignant image evokes a sense of solitude and contemplation, resonating with viewers who appreciate the artist's masterful portrayal of human vulnerability.
