"Daruna and girl" was the title of this, but I've yet to find who or what "daruna" is. It doesn't look like a pleasant tale, whatever it is... But I snagged it, interested in general in the depiction of elderly women in these paintings.
Is she a teacher or caretaker? Is she an accepted elder? Is she just furrowed in the artist's view or is she scolding the girl ... Or is "Daruna" a proper name, as depicted in some story everyone in the day knew? ~17th century.
