Marie Louise Petit im Alter von 105 Jahren mit ihrer jungen Pflegerin

Französische Grafik 1762–1775, 1765

The image depicts an elderly woman sitting in a wooden chair, with her hands resting on her lap holding a cloth object. She wears a blue gown with long sleeves and a white collar, a white bonnet covering most of her hair. Another figure, a woman, stands beside her wearing a long dark dress with a white apron, and her head partially obscured by a large white headdress. The background shows a simple room with a flat-toned wall and a wooden floor.
