"Study of an Old Lady" (German: "Die Alte") is a compelling and intimate drawing by the renowned German artist Adolph von Menzel, created in the mid-19th century. Menzel, who is celebrated for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, produced this work as part of his extensive oeuvre that spans various genres and styles. The drawing exemplifies Menzel's skill in portraiture and his keen observation of human character and emotion.

The subject of the drawing is an elderly woman, depicted with a remarkable sense of realism and empathy. Menzel's use of fine lines and delicate shading brings out the textures of her aged skin, the contours of her face, and the expression in her eyes, which seem to convey a lifetime of experiences. The artist's focus on the minute details, such as the wrinkles and the subtle play of light and shadow, highlights his mastery in rendering the human form with both precision and sensitivity.

"Study of an Old Lady" is often noted for its psychological depth, as Menzel manages to capture not just the physical appearance of the woman but also a sense of her inner life. This ability to convey the personality and emotions of his subjects is a hallmark of Menzel's portrait work, setting him apart from many of his contemporaries.
