Plaster Statuette of a Female Torso 1886

"Plaster Statuette of a Female Torso" (1886), by Vincent van Gogh, depicts a plaster cast of a female torso, rendered in the artist’s distinctive style. The artwork, now housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, captures the subtle interplay of light and shadow across the statuette’s form. The vibrant blue background provides a stark contrast to the pale, luminous hues of the plaster, emphasizing the sculpted contours of the female form. This work reveals Van Gogh’s fascination with the human form and his exploration of color and texture in his art.
