Abstract. Relying on gender research methodology and certain provisions of ageing-studies the paper analyzes the motive of "fading" woman’s beauty as it is represented in the novel by Austrian classic Adalbert Stifter (1805-1868) "Indian Summer". The study focuses on Mathilda’s image as a representation of erotically attractive elderly woman breaking gender stereotypes of Biedermeier and realism.
