"Old Man and Young Woman" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472–1553), who was renowned for his paintings, woodcuts, and engravings. This artwork is emblematic of Cranach's interest in moralistic and allegorical themes, often exploring the contrasts and interactions between youth and age, virtue and vice, and the transient nature of beauty.

The painting depicts an elderly man attentively gazing at a much younger woman, a common theme that Cranach revisited multiple times in his career. This juxtaposition typically serves as a visual commentary on the folly of old age seeking the beauty and vitality of youth, and it may carry moral overtones about the dangers of succumbing to carnal desires and the vanity of earthly pleasures.

Cranach's portrayal is characterized by his distinctive style, which includes elongated figures, a refined use of color, and meticulous attention to detail, especially in the rendering of textures and fabrics. The composition often includes symbolic elements, such as the inclusion of inscriptions or objects that reinforce the moral message of the artwork.

"Old Man and Young Woman" is part of Cranach's broader oeuvre, which reflects the social and cultural milieu of the early 16th century, including the influence of humanism and the burgeoning Reformation. Cranach's works are considered significant for their blend of Gothic tradition and Renaissance innovation, and they provide insight into the values and aesthetics of the period.

As with many of Cranach's works, the provenance of "Old Man and Young Woman" may include a history of ownership through various private and public collections, and it may have been subject to restoration and conservation efforts to preserve its condition for future generations. The painting is not only an example of Cranach's artistic skill but also a valuable piece of cultural heritage that continues to be studied and appreciated for its historical and artistic significance.
