Studien einer strickenden alten Frau

Amerikanische Grafik 1869–1877, um 1870–1890

This image shows two side profiles of an elderly person, focusing on the head, face, and hands. The profiles depict the individual turned to the left and from the chest up. The face displays distinct features such as a sharp nose, high cheekbones, and wrinkles. The hair is sparse and pulled back tightly. The hands are detailed, possibly engaged in an activity like knitting or using tools. They appear bony with visible knuckles and no visible jewelry. The background is a textured paper with no distinct elements, featuring some light smudges and sketch markings.
