(Seated Old Woman)

A monochromatic watercolor sketch of an elderly person seated in profile, with a focus on the individual's face and upper body. The person is wearing a dark cloak and appears contemplative. The background is loosely defined with broad brushstrokes, and the lower part of the composition shows unfinished pencil lines.
