Sien with Cigar Sitting on the Floor near Stove 1882

"Sien with Cigar Sitting on the Floor near Stove" is a charcoal drawing by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1882 and currently located in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands. The drawing depicts a woman, potentially Sien Hoornik, a Dutch model and Van Gogh's partner at the time, sitting on the floor with her legs crossed, holding a cigar. The image is rendered in a dark, expressive style characteristic of Van Gogh's early work, with strong lines and bold contrasts. This drawing exemplifies Van Gogh's early experimentation with the medium of charcoal, exploring its capacity for capturing both light and shadow, and creating a sense of depth and mood.
