The image shows an etching of an elderly woman seen from the side, facing a large tree. She is slightly hunched over, with profound facial lines indicating age. She wears a head covering, concealing most of her hair, and is dressed in a long cloak or robe with layered folds. One of her arms is bent across her body, and her other hand is held near her chest. There is no visible jewelry or objects in her hand. The background features intricate cross-hatching, creating a textured, abstract landscape suggesting trees or foliage.
