More about this artwork

"Alte Venezianerin, sich schneuzend" is a poignant work of art by the Austrian artist August von Pettenkofen, painted in 1874. This painting captures a solitary moment in the life of an elderly Venetian woman, intimately rendered with detailed brushwork and a rich, warm color palette.In the painting, the woman sits hunched over, engaged in the simple, everyday act of blowing her nose. She is dressed in traditional attire, with a blue skirt and a beige shawl wrapped around her shoulders. Her headscarf and the folds of her clothes are meticulously depicted, highlighting Pettenkofen’s attention to texture and detail.The background of the painting is deep and rustic, providing a stark contrast with the blue of the woman's skirt, which becomes the focal point of the composition. Beside her, a red-brown earthenware pot adds a touch of everyday realism to the scene.This work not only showcases Pettenkofen's skill in portraying human figures and his sensitivity to the nuances of human expression but also evokes a sense of empathy and respect for the quiet dignity of ordinary life.
