The old woman by Giorgione

Picture “Old Woman” or “Portrait of an Old Woman” by the Venetian artist Giorgione. The size of the portrait is 68 x 59 cm, canvas, oil.

The picture was written about 1509. Portraits constitute a special section of the legacy of Giorgione, in which individual characters are replaced by poetic types.

One of these types of paintings by the artist is the haggard “Old Woman”, expressing in all its form the inexorable pace of time. The words of the inscription on a piece of paper, which is kept by an elderly woman, read: “Col tempo” – “So it happens with time”.
