About the piece
Painted in 1887 by Gyda Gram, this oil portrait features an elderly lady dressed in formal black attire with delicate lace details. The dark, atmospheric background emphasizes the sitter's gentle features and the play of light on her face and hands, embodying a classic late 19th-century European aesthetic.
