About the piece
Painted during Vincent van Gogh's time in Nuenen in 1885, this study of a peasant woman showcases the artist's early mastery of raw, empathetic realism. The somber palette and bold impasto reflect his deep connection to the working class, offering a sophisticated and grounding presence for interior spaces.
