Plaster Statuette 1886

Vincent van Gogh's "Plaster Statuette" (1886), a charcoal drawing, depicts a plaster cast of a nude female figure. The statue, depicted in profile, stands with its head bowed, creating a sense of modesty and introspection. The composition is simple, emphasizing the form of the figure against the light background, and showcasing van Gogh's skill in capturing the anatomical details of the human form. This drawing is a testament to van Gogh’s interest in both art history and the human figure. It is housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
