Description
Van Gogh’s Head of a Peasant Woman, Right Profile, hand-painted in oil
Painted in Nuenen in 1884, this head study shows a Brabant peasant woman seen in sharp right profile, her strong features emerging from a dark ground. It belongs to the long series of peasant heads Van Gogh made in the run-up to The Potato Eaters, seeking the true character of the country people; modelled in deep earth tones, the clear profile has a plain, sculptural strength.
Our version is a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed onto canvas by a senior studio artist so the strong profile and earthy tones keep the character of the original.
Where a head study belongs
Grave 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.
