Plaster Statuette of a Kneeling Man 1886

This painting by Vincent van Gogh, titled "Plaster Statuette of a Kneeling Man," depicts a plaster statuette of a man kneeling with his head in his hands. The statuette is rendered in a pale green, contrasting sharply with the vibrant purple background. The painting, created in 1886, is a study in form and light, capturing the three-dimensionality of the statuette with thick impasto strokes. The painting, now housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, is a testament to van Gogh's interest in exploring the human form and the power of simple, everyday objects.
