Head of a Peasant Woman with White Cap 1884

Vincent van Gogh’s 1884 painting *Head of a Peasant Woman with White Cap* depicts a woman with a white cap, characteristic of Dutch peasant attire, against a dark background. This portrait exemplifies van Gogh's early style with thick, impasto brushstrokes, often used to capture the texture of clothing, hair, and skin. While the subject is not readily identifiable, the composition suggests the artist's interest in capturing the lives of everyday people.
