About the piece
Painted in 1875 by Carl Ludwig Jessen, this portrait study captures an elderly woman from Risum with remarkable sensitivity. Her weathered features and direct gaze are framed by a crisp white bonnet, providing a sharp contrast against her heavy dark garments and the warm, earthy tones of the background.
