Best Answer

Brahms was born in 1833, so when he was 57 that would be the year 1890.

In 1896 (when he was 63), he wrote Four Serious Songs. So no, he did not stop composing at age 57. Although he slowed his compositional output and chose to help Clara Schumann take care of her family while Robert Schumann was placed in an asylum.
