Head of a Peasant Woman with Greenish Lace Cap 1885

Vincent van Gogh's "Head of a Peasant Woman with Greenish Lace Cap," painted in 1885, is a striking portrayal of a woman's weathered face. The use of thick impasto and bold brushstrokes, characteristic of his later style, lends a sense of texture and depth to the portrait. Her downcast eyes and furrowed brow convey a sense of weariness and resignation, capturing the essence of rural life in 19th-century Europe. This oil-on-canvas painting is now held in the Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, Netherlands.
