A half-figure of aged woman, standing frontal and turning a little to the right, while clenching her hands. Her face is turned up with an expression of affection on it; a tear is flowing from her right eye. She wears a dark jacket with embroidery and a white kerchief, which is tied in a knot under her chin.
