Concomitantly, it investigates the female life cycle and its fundamental connection to female reproduction and women’s relationship to men, defining women as Maids, Mothers, or Widows. Finally, it demonstrates the early modern fear of sex in old age. L’article étudie les relations étroites, aux débuts de l’époque moderne, entre la représentation des femmes âgées et des sorcières, à partir du tableau de Hans Baldung, Les Trois Âges et la Mort. Il s’intéresse au cycle de vie féminin qui définit les femmes par rapport aux hommes comme vierges, mères, puis veuves. Il se penche en dernier lieu sur la peur qui entoure la sexualité des femmes âgées au début de l’époque moderne.
