About this work

An elderly woman in a dark dress and white headscarf kneels with hands clasped in prayer at a table draped in red. Beside her lie a skull, a red hourglass, an open book, spectacles, a quill and inkwell, while a carved bust, a vase of flowers and a candlestick sit on a shelf behind her. This 1655 work by Nicolaes Maes is a vanitas-inflected devotional scene that reflects on mortality and piety.
