"A 'Tronie' of an Old Woman in a Black Furcoat and a Purple Hood" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Jan Lievens, who was a contemporary and, at times, a collaborator of Rembrandt van Rijn. A tronie is a type of work common in Dutch Golden Age painting that depicts a head, face, or expression characterized by exaggerated features or expressions, often not intended to be a portrait of a specific individual but rather a study of character or type.

Created in the 17th century, this particular tronie by Lievens is a striking example of the genre, showcasing the artist's skill in rendering the textures and details of the old woman's attire, as well as the nuanced expression on her face. The subject is dressed in a black fur coat and a purple hood, attire that suggests a status of wealth or social standing, yet her expression carries a sense of depth and individual character that transcends her clothing.

The painting is executed with a strong chiaroscuro technique, a hallmark of the period, which emphasizes the play of light and shadow on the subject's face and garments. Lievens' mastery in the use of light not only highlights the textural contrasts of the fur and fabric but also serves to draw the viewer into the psychological space of the old woman.

While the exact date of creation is not always clear for works such as this, "A 'Tronie' of an Old Woman in a Black Furcoat and a Purple Hood" is typically dated to the mid-17th century, a period during which Lievens was active and producing a significant body of work. The painting is considered an important example of Lievens' oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the tronie genre within Dutch portraiture.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for the insights it provides into the cultural and social milieu of the Dutch Golden Age. It reflects the era's fascination with the depiction of character and emotion, as well as the exploration of identity and the human condition through the medium of painting.

Today, the painting is appreciated for its historical value and artistic excellence, and it continues to be studied by art historians and enthusiasts alike for its contribution to the development of Northern European art. It is held in a collection or museum where it is accessible to the public, allowing viewers to experience firsthand the rich detail and emotional depth captured by Jan Lievens.
