“Snowy Landscape with Stooping Woman” is a work of art created by Vincent van Gogh circa 1889 in France. This piece is associated with the Post-Impressionism movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork depicts a winter scene characterized by a frosty landscape. In the foreground, a woman in a stooped posture is engaged in some form of labor or gathering, her presence creating a poignant focal point amid the cold surroundings. Distinctive trees with swirling, flame-like forms frame the scene, juxtaposed against a structure in the background that appears to be a rustic house with a thatched roof. The sketch is rendered in a monochromatic palette, utilizing lines and shading to convey depth, texture, and the chill of the environment. The overall composition showcases van Gogh’s typical expressive line work, capturing both the beauty and the harshness of the winter season.
