Head of a Woman 1885

This charcoal drawing, "Head of a Woman," is a work by the famous Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh, created in 1885. The drawing depicts a woman in profile, her face framed by a dark cap. The strong, expressive lines characteristic of van Gogh's work are evident in the contours of the face and the details of the cap. This drawing, now housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, demonstrates van Gogh's mastery of drawing and his keen observation of human form.
