The artwork, titled “Head of a Woman,” is a portrait created by the renowned artist Vincent van Gogh around 1885 in Nuenen, Netherlands. This piece, executed using chalk on paper, belongs to the Realism art movement and is currently housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The portrait features the head and shoulders of a woman, drawn with expressive and textured lines. Her face, marked by subtle shading, appears contemplative and worn, reflecting the artist’s keen attention to human emotion and physical detail. The woman’s gaze is directed slightly away from the viewer, and her head is adorned with a headscarf. The artwork’s monochromatic palette enhances its depth and somber tone, typical of van Gogh’s early realist works.
