The artwork titled “Woman with Striped Skirt” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise, France. This piece, a product of the Post-Impressionism art movement, is categorized as a sketch and study. The medium used for this artwork is pencil on paper. It is currently housed in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, France.
The artwork depicts a female figure dressed in a striped skirt. The simplicity of the pencil lines captures the essence of the woman’s form without extraneous details. Her upper body is more defined, with visible contours of her face and hair, while her lower part is dominated by vertical stripes of the skirt, creating a sense of movement and weight. The sketch exudes a sense of modesty and everyday realism characteristic of van Gogh’s approach to human subjects. The minimalist background ensures that the viewer’s focus remains entirely on the central figure.
