"Elderly Woman 1486-90" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Domenico Ghirlandaio, whose full name was Domenico di Tommaso Curradi di Doffo Bigordi (1449 – 1494). Ghirlandaio was a prominent figure in the Florentine art scene and is well-known for his fresco cycles and portraits that capture the essence of his subjects with remarkable detail and realism.

The painting "Elderly Woman 1486-90" is believed to have been created between the years 1486 and 1490, a period that corresponds with Ghirlandaio's mature phase as an artist. During this time, he was highly sought after for his ability to portray his subjects with a sense of dignity and psychological depth. The artwork is a testament to Ghirlandaio's skill in rendering the human face, particularly the effects of age, with a striking level of naturalism and empathy.

This portrait of an elderly woman is significant for its departure from the idealized beauty that characterized much of Renaissance portraiture. Instead, Ghirlandaio chose to focus on the individual character and lived experience of his sitter. The painting is marked by the detailed depiction of the woman's wrinkled skin, the soft folds of her clothing, and the gentle, introspective gaze that suggests a lifetime of experiences. The work is a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the transient nature of human life.

As with many of Ghirlandaio's portraits, the identity of the woman is not definitively known, which adds an element of mystery to the piece. The painting is executed in tempera on panel, a medium that was common during the Renaissance before the widespread adoption of oil paint. "Elderly Woman 1486-90" is appreciated for its historical value and its contribution to the understanding of Renaissance portraiture, offering insight into the societal attitudes towards aging and the representation of the elderly in art during this period.

The painting is housed in a notable museum or art collection, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and the window it provides into the life and work of Domenico Ghirlandaio. As a work of art, "Elderly Woman 1486-90" remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Ghirlandaio and the broader context of Renaissance art history.
