Woman Standing 1890

"Woman Standing" is a charcoal drawing by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1890, just a year before his death. The drawing, currently housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, captures a woman in a simple pose, standing with her head down, her form defined by strong, expressive lines. Van Gogh’s signature use of bold strokes and hatching techniques creates a sense of movement and depth, giving the drawing a distinct energy despite its static subject. This drawing exemplifies the artist's unique style, characterized by a passionate and emotive approach to capturing the human figure.
