About the piece
Painted during his years in the Netherlands, this work by Vincent van Gogh captures a fisherman's wife standing stoically against the gray backdrop of the sea. The bold, impasto application of oil paint and the vibrant contrast of her red shawl against the moody maritime environment showcase the artist's developing expressive style and fascination with the working class.
