Lucas van Leyden's "Old Woman with Grapes" (1518-1528) is a detailed engraving that showcases the artist's mastery of line and shadow. The image depicts a woman with a weathered face and wrinkled skin, her hands delicately holding a cluster of grapes. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the meticulously rendered folds of her clothing, the delicate texture of the grapes, and the intricate patterns on her headdress. This print, a fine example of Northern Renaissance art, is a testament to van Leyden's skill in portraying human emotion and capturing the beauty of everyday life.
