Description

Offered is an exquisite, small-format original painting by the renowned German-American impressionist Karin Schaefers (b. 1942). This piece features a contemplative portrait of an elderly woman, rendered with the artist's signature warmth and textured brushwork.

The subject is captured in a moment of quiet reflection, resting her chin on her hand, set against a vibrant, atmospheric background of golden yellows and oranges.
