Oude vrouw aan tafel 1888

"Oude vrouw aan tafel" (Old Woman at a Table) is an etching by Belgian artist Léopold Haeck, created in 1888. The artwork, measuring 140 mm by 110 mm, depicts a seated elderly woman with her hands resting on a table, captured in a simple yet powerful composition. Haeck's detailed linework and use of chiaroscuro create a sense of depth and realism, emphasizing the subject's weathered features and quiet contemplation. The etching captures the solitude and dignity of aging, a recurring theme in Haeck's oeuvre, and showcases his mastery of this technique.
