Illustration of a somber, weathered old woman in a gray coif and dark cloak on a dirt path in a misty rural village with thatched cottages.

A 50-year-old woman, weathered from a hard rural life in 1645 England. Clothing typical of a poor Suffolk villager: plain woolen gown, linen coif (cap), apron, and perhaps a dark cloak. A somber or anxious expression, reflecting the fear of witchcraft accusations during Matthew Hopkins’ witch trials (he was active in Suffolk in 1645). A rural village backdrop, with thatched cottages and perhaps a cow in the background. See more
