Head of a Woman 1883

"Head of a Woman" is a charcoal drawing by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1883. The artwork depicts a woman in profile, her face partially obscured by a white cap. Van Gogh's signature, "Vincent", is visible in the lower right corner. This piece, now housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, showcases Van Gogh's early interest in portraiture and his use of expressive line and shadow to convey form and emotion. The artwork is a powerful example of van Gogh's skill in depicting human features with simple yet evocative strokes.
