Peasant Woman Bruising Flax (after Millet)Vincent van Gogh, 1889 | Hand-painted oil reproduction or archival canvas print

The oil reproduction is painted on cotton canvas; the art print is printed on canvas. Rolled canvas arrives without a stretcher. Stretched canvas is mounted on a wooden stretcher frame; thin and thick frames are separate presentation choices.

On request, the studio provides a certificate for your hand-painted reproduction; it certifies the studio's work, not an original by the artist.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid cleaning products, prolonged direct sunlight and damp conditions.

Choose a size and presentation in the options above. Both editions keep the original image proportions.

No. Van Gogh based it on a print by Jean-François Millet, the painter of peasant life he admired above all others. He kept Millet's composition but reworked it in his own warm colour and brushwork at Saint-Rémy in 1889-90.

He saw these as heartfelt translations rather than copies, a way to work in colour during a period when he could not always paint from life, and they kept him company through his year at the asylum.

A peasant woman seen from behind, bent forward over a wooden flax brake, gripping a handful of straw-coloured flax. She wears a pale headscarf and a light blue-grey blouse and apron, with bare feet in wooden clogs. A ladder leans against the barn wall behind her, and the ground is scattered with loose flax in warm ochre and gold.

Choose the hand-painted oil if you want real brushwork and impasto texture, applied by a studio artist onto canvas. Choose the archival print for a smooth, even finish at a lower price. Both are made to order in your chosen size.

Sizes are scaled proportionally to the original painting, and you can select rolled canvas, canvas stretched on a chassis, or a thin or thick frame. Every order is prepared to your specification and checked before it ships.
