The author finds it hard to believe that his grandmother had been young and pretty once because his memories of her are overshadowed by her present appearance, and it is difficult for him to imagine her any differently. He struggles to reconcile the image of his grandmother in her youth with the elderly woman he knows.
the portrait of a lady is the appropriate title as the grandmother of the author dies at last and will be seen in a portrait after that.
The relationship between the author and his grandmother evolves throughout "Portrait of a Lady" as the author gains a deeper understanding and appreciation for her. Initially, the author highly esteems his grandmother but comes to realize her limitations and flaws as he matures. Their bond deepens as he sees her vulnerability and humanity, leading to a more complex and nuanced portrayal of their relationship.
The best-known portrait of her was painted by Italian painter Guido Reni.
