weeping woman
Sobbing lady figure
A weeping woman is a woman who is crying, often depicted in art or literature as a figure of grief or lamentation.
Picasso's famous 1937 painting shows a weeping woman with angular, fragmented features.
The phrase sometimes refers to ghosts or spirits in folklore—particularly La Llorona, the weeping woman of Latin American legend who searches for her drowned children.
