The Ugly Duchess  1513

by Quentin Matsys

Also known as: 'A Grotesque Old Woman' or 'An Old Woman' [br] This picture was probably intended to satirise old women who try inappropriately to recreate their youth. Massys has evidently depicted a woman who suffered from Paget’s disease, a malformation of bone (The National Gallery).
