The artwork, titled “Study of a Woman Standing, Two Heads, Another Figure,” is a pencil sketch on paper created by the renowned artist Vincent van Gogh in 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise, France. Categorized under the art movement of Post-Impressionism, the piece serves as a study and sketch genre artwork. It is currently housed at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center in Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY, US.
The artwork consists of a central figure of a standing woman, sketched with simple, flowing lines that suggest form and movement. Surrounding her are two detailed heads, each capturing distinct facial expressions, and another nondescript figure in the background. The casual yet deliberate pencil strokes offer a glimpse into van Gogh’s process of exploring human forms and expressions, embodying the artist’s characteristic style and intense study of his subjects.
