About the piece
Painted in 1880 by Dutch artist Meijer de Haan, this striking realist portrait captures the quiet dignity of an elderly woman. The composition uses a dark, moody background to emphasize the warm reds of her shawl and the textured white of her bonnet, creating a piece with profound depth and character.
