An Old Woman of Arles

An elderly woman with deeply lined face and pale, direct gaze sits before a pale green wall, wearing a dark blue head covering and a wrapped blue shawl. Thick, visible brushstrokes model her yellow-tinted face and the rippling folds of the cloth, with a wooden chair back at the left edge.

Español: Una anciana de Arles

Una mujer mayor de rostro muy marcado y mirada franca se sienta frente a una pared verde pálida, con un gorro azul oscuro y un chal azul envuelto. Pinceladas gruesas y visibles modelan su rostro de tonos amarillos y los pliegues ondulados de la tela, con el respaldo de una silla de madera en el borde izquierdo.
