Description
Van Gogh’s Portrait of a Woman, hand-painted in oil
Painted in Nuenen in 1885, this is one of the many head studies Van Gogh made of the ordinary people around him. A woman’s face emerges from a shadowed ground, modelled in deep browns and greys with unflinching honesty. Van Gogh wanted these studies to show real, hard-lived character rather than prettiness, a grounded, sympathetic portrait from his Dutch period.
Our version is a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed onto canvas by a senior studio artist so the earthy tones and honest face keep the character of the original.
Where a portrait study belongs
Quiet and characterful, it suits a study, a hallway or a considered interior, and works well against neutral or darker walls.
Choose a hand-painted oil or a fine-art print
Order it as a hand-painted oil for genuine brushwork and impasto relief, finished by an experienced painter and made to order, or as an archival fine-art print for a smooth, even finish at a lower price.
