About the piece
This 1886 oil portrait by Vincent van Gogh exemplifies his darker, atmospheric style from his transition period in Paris. The subject is depicted with quiet dignity, her gloved hands resting in her lap against a backdrop of deep umbers and ochres that emphasize the somber mood of the late 19th century.
