    The statue is titled, “The Old Woman with the Handbag”.

    The woman in the picture was 38 when it was taken. The artist made her look older for some reason.

      I think it’s just time doing its thing. The artist probably saw her as old because she dressed like an old person dressed in 2015.

        I don’t think she was particularly youthful-looking in 1985 either tbh.

          Probably not, no, but I can’t see what else lead to the name. The artist must just have assumed due to clothing and style.
