“Stooping Woman with Net” is a work by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1883 in The Hague, Netherlands. This piece, rendered in ink on paper, is part of Van Gogh’s Realism period and is classified as a sketch and study. The artwork is currently housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The artwork depicts a woman engaged in labor, bending forward as she works with a net. The ink sketch captures her posture and action with deft, expressive lines, conveying a sense of movement and the simplicity of rural life. Van Gogh’s keen observation and sensitivity to human toil are evident, showcasing the early stages of the artist’s evolving style. The loose, almost hurried strokes suggest a quick study, focusing on capturing the essence of the figure’s activity rather than intricate detail.
