Head of a Peasant Woman with Dark Cap 1885

Vincent van Gogh's "Head of a Peasant Woman with Dark Cap," painted in 1885, showcases the artist's signature style. The piece depicts a woman, likely a farmer, with her head turned slightly to the right, her face illuminated against a dark background. The thick, swirling brushstrokes, characteristic of van Gogh's work, create a sense of depth and texture, emphasizing the weathered features of the woman's face. This expressive portrait, now housed in the Kröller-Müller Museum in the Netherlands, exemplifies van Gogh's interest in the lives of ordinary people and his ability to capture emotion through vivid color and dramatic brushwork.
