Prompt:
The picture shows an old woman, dressed in shabby clothes and wearing a worn headscarf, walking down a dark, dirty alley in an underground city. Her face is marked by deep exhaustion and hopelessness. Her eyes are tired, her cheekbones are prominent, her mouth is slack, her lips are dry. Her nose looks angular and sharp, as if life had given her nothing. Her face is dirty, her skin is pale and grey, with a few wrinkles that show deep signs of hardship. The headscarf, once perhaps colourful, is now faded, dirty and full of holes, hiding the woman's greasy, straggly hair. Her body is wrapped in old rags, layers of torn coats and holey fabrics, the colours are a mixture of earth tones, washed-out greys and browns.
In front of her is a battered shopping cart, rusty and full of old cans, blankets and worthless belongings. Garbage cans tower to the left and right of the car, cardboard boxes are stacked next to them, and a rusty bicycle lies carelessly in the corner. The floor is covered with dirt, scraps of paper, and rubble, the colors are dull, cloudy, full of gray and brown. In the background, crumbling walls rise up, peeling plaster testifies to decay. The light is weak coming from a street light. the ceiling is gray and dripping it seems as if the light is there just to spotlight her tough life. police had long forgotten this place. The woman's shadow merges with the garbage on the street, there are no clear contours, everything is immersed in dull darkness.
The style of the picture is reminiscent of realism, which emphasizes raw reality, the technique could be reminiscent of the works of Gustave Courbet, whose focus was on the suffering and poverty of people. It looks like an oil painting, with heavy, rough brushstrokes that make the despair tangible.
