Kruseman, Cornelis – Lezende oude vrouw, 1820 - 1833 Rijksmuseum: part 1

The picture has something of this: portrait, people, man, dark, crazy, lid, scary, horror, mask, retro, blood, indoors, beard, zombie, vicious, fear.
Perhaps it’s a painting of a woman sitting in a chair with a book in her lap and a hat on top of her head.
