The Bookseller Blok 1882

"The Bookseller Blok" is a portrait by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1882. It depicts the head and shoulders of a man, possibly a bookseller, in profile. Van Gogh's early works often feature simple, realistic subjects, as seen in this drawing, created using charcoal and colored chalk. The artwork's expressive brushstrokes and use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and realism. The portrait is a testament to Van Gogh's early talent and ability to capture the essence of his subjects with expressive strokes.
