Studie van een oude vrouw, tot de schouders gezien, enigszins naar links 1833 - 1891

"Studie van een oude vrouw, tot de schouders gezien, enigszins naar links" is a charcoal drawing by French artist Théodule Ribot, created between 1833 and 1891. The piece depicts the head and shoulders of an elderly woman, seen from a slightly angled perspective. The drawing is characterized by its use of expressive lines, which capture the wrinkles and lines of the woman's face, emphasizing her age and life experiences. Ribot's work often focused on the human figure, exploring themes of aging, poverty, and social realism, and this study is a compelling example of his skillful and poignant portrayal of the human condition. It's now located in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
