''Old Woman'' (Italian: ''Vecchia''), also known as ''La Vecchia'' or ''Col Tempo'', is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Giorgione, dated to around 1508. This work is renowned for its realistic portrayal of an elderly woman, which was a departure from the idealized images of youth and beauty that were prevalent during the Renaissance. The painting is housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy.

The ''Old Woman'' is a half-length portrait that captures the subject with striking naturalism and psychological depth. The woman is depicted with a direct gaze towards the viewer, her face marked by the wrinkles and signs of age, which Giorgione renders with meticulous attention to detail. The painting is notable for its rich textures, particularly the rendering of the woman's skin and the fur of her garment, which demonstrate Giorgione's mastery of oil painting techniques.

The subject holds a piece of paper with the inscription "Col Tempo," which translates to "With Time" from Italian, suggesting a meditation on the passage of time and the transience of life. This theme, along with the woman's introspective expression, imbues the work with a sense of melancholy and philosophical depth.

Giorgione's ''Old Woman'' is considered a significant work in the history of portraiture, as it represents a shift towards a more personal and intimate representation of the individual. It is also an early example of the genre of the "portrait d'apparat," in which the sitter is depicted with attributes that convey a moral or allegorical message.

The painting's provenance and the identity of the woman remain subjects of scholarly debate, with some speculating that she may be a depiction of an allegorical figure rather than a portrait of a specific individual. Despite the uncertainties surrounding the work, ''Old Woman'' continues to be celebrated for its emotional impact and Giorgione's innovative approach to portraiture.
