Head of a Woman 1885

Vincent van Gogh's 1885 drawing, "Head of a Woman," depicts a woman with a white cap and a somber expression, her features rendered with bold, expressive strokes. The artwork, now housed in the Van Gogh Museum, showcases van Gogh's signature style, characterized by a heightened emotional intensity and a unique approach to depicting form and light. The use of black chalk and the deep, dark background contribute to the sense of solemnity and introspection present in the subject's gaze.
