Vielle Femme 

Henri Le Fauconnier's "Vielle Femme" (Old Woman) is a powerful portrait of an elderly woman. Painted in a style characterized by strong lines and bold color choices, the work captures the subject's weathered features and stoic expression. The dark background and contrasting red and blue tones add to the somber mood, emphasizing the passage of time and the weight of the woman's life experience. Le Fauconnier, a key figure in the early 20th-century avant-garde, is known for his experiments with Cubism and Expressionism, which are evident in the fragmented forms and emotive brushstrokes of this evocative portrait.
