EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Vincent van Gogh's masterpiece, "Head of a Peasant Woman: Right Profile". Painted in 1884, this oil on canvas laid down on panel artwork measures 40x30 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The image captures the solemn expression of a peasant woman from the nineteenth century, with her double chin and brown hair adding to her distinctive features. Van Gogh's post-impressionist style shines through in this piece as he skillfully portrays the woman's poverty-stricken life. Her dark clothing and green headwear symbolize her destitution, while her somber demeanor reflects the hardships she endures. The artist's use of color further enhances the painting's emotional impact. The side view perspective allows us to closely observe every facial feature - from her prominent nose to her expressive eyes. This intimate portrayal invites viewers to empathize with the struggles faced by individuals like this peasant woman during that era. "Head of a Peasant Woman: Right Profile" serves as social commentary on class disparities prevalent at that time. Van Gogh masterfully captures not only the physical appearance but also conveys an underlying message about societal issues. As we admire this neo-impressionist artwork, we are reminded of van Gogh's brilliance as both a painter and an observer of human condition. His ability to evoke emotions through his brushstrokes continues to resonate with art enthusiasts worldwide.
