About the piece
Painted in 1885 during his time in Nuenen, this powerful portrait demonstrates Vincent van Gogh's early fascination with the peasant life of the Netherlands. The work features the artist's signature heavy impasto, using deep greens and warm ochres to create a sense of profound character and psychological depth.
