Description
The image shows a drawing of an elderly woman from the upper half of her body. She faces forward with a neutral expression. The woman has prominent facial features including deep-set eyes, a defined nose, and a firm mouth. She has styled hair in an updo with a headpiece resembling ruffled lace or a floral accessory. She wears a high-collared garment, likely a dress or blouse, with buttons down the front. A scarf tied into a bow is around her neck, and she wears small hoop earrings on both ears. The background is a plain, light surface.
