About the piece
Created in Paris in 1886, this oil on cardboard study by Vincent van Gogh depicts a plaster cast of a male torso. The work demonstrates the artist's early fascination with sculptural form, rendered here through thick impasto and a restrained palette of cool blues and creamy whites that emphasizes the play of light across the figure's muscles.
