Old age can be tragic and wonderful. I like this portrait, Lizzie. This woman must have been a pretty lady many years ago. The monochrome process emphasises the sadness in her eyes and the years of remembering that generated this peaceful moment. Hard to put an age on her, 100+? Did you communicate with her or speak to a relative to find out who she was? Although she appears to be blind, did you send a photo to the family? An extraordinary memory of your travels to India.
She is the grandmother of our dear friend and guide Mohan Solanki. She is near blind.
Wow! What a wonderful portrait and choice of edit.
