Old Woman Frying Eggs, by Diego Velázquez, 1618 (National Gallery of Scotland)
“I love this painting for the face of the woman, the face of the boy and the amazing detail of the still life, or rather not-so-still life in the case of the frying eggs. The woman’s face is full of vitality and wisdom, somehow putting up with life.”
Giles Havergal
