Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

The image shows an elderly woman in full body profile, seated upright. She has delicate facial features, deep-set eyes, and a slightly downturned mouth. She wears a dark cloak covering her entire body, and a cap that conceals her hair. She holds a woven basket in her hands, resting on her lap. The background is textured, possibly a stone wall, creating a sense of quiet and enclosure. The focus is solely on the woman with no other objects present.
