A melancholic grotesque caricature. An old, ornate wardrobe stands in a dusty, decadent room. Its door is open. Inside, on a bent hanger, hangs a moth-eaten, cracked sheepskin coat with a black fur collar. A grotesque, elderly woman's torso and head are merged with the coat; it is her body. Her face shows vacant longing and fatigue, with poorly applied makeup. The scene is a literal metaphor for "старая вешалка." Style: a fusion of Aubrey Beardsley's graphic decadence and Egon Schiele's expressive distortion. Sepia and grey palette with a single spot of garish lipstick red. Dramatic chiaroscuro lighting highlighting texture and decay.
