Español: Anciana rezando

Una mujer mayor de ojos cerrados lleva un tocado rojo y una capa oscura, con la cabeza inclinada hacia la izquierda y las manos arrugadas juntas, palma con palma, en oración. Las pinceladas visibles modelan su rostro surcado de arrugas sobre un fondo marrón oscuro y una luz cálida y tenue.

Português: Velha rezando

Uma mulher idosa de olhos fechados usa um lenço vermelho e um manto escuro, com a cabeça virada para a esquerda e as mãos enrugadas unidas, palma contra palma, em oração. Pinceladas visíveis modelam seu rosto marcado por rugas contra um fundo marrom escuro, sob uma luz quente e suave.
