Head of a Woman in a Green Bonnet

A painted portrait of an older woman with a weathered face and deep-set eyes, her head turned to the right. She wears a pale green bonnet framing her face against a dark background, with a dark, loosely brushed garment below. Thick, visible brushstrokes and muted earth tones create a somber, intimate mood.
